So my dad ordered 2gb of ram for his workstation. He had it shipped USPS ground shipping. It was delayed from California because of weather conditions. It then finally got here a few days ago. A UPS truck pulled up and handed my dad a Fedex box.

Things that make you go "Hmmmm"

They all suck. Even DHL. They delivered a brand new video camera to my place today. Left the box by the door in the rain. Never knocked.

Lol. That is crazy.

I think sometimes they contract each other to meet demand but that's still weird. If it was shipped by USPS it should have been in a mail package, not Fedex.

we have been having that done lately at the store also. Mostly from New Egg

USPS and FedEx are in bed with eachother now. Thats why you see FedEx drop boxes at post offices all the time now.

Yeah, that's where my dad purchased his ram. I just purchased 2gb of ram for one of my servers, coming UPS -- we will see who drops it off

We just had the same thing happen to us ... WTF?!?

UPS dropped off the package, in a UPS box ... but with a FedEx receipt in the box.
