Fedex Shipments
 

Paid a shitload to have a gift (from NY) delivered to my house tomorrow in Norway. Seemes like fedex got the deal but I'm kind of confused over the tracking on their site:

Sep 12, 2005
11:53 PM Arrived at FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN
07:30 PM Left origin GARDEN CITY, NY
05:17 PM Picked up GARDEN CITY, NY

At first I was delighted that they picked it up quickly, but then wtf does "left origin" mean? Doesn't it leave once its picked up? And why the heck is it suddenly in Memphis? Thats kind of the wrong way vs Norway? :helpme

theyve got daily airlines going from anywhere in the US but this is weird, it happens more often though, Id give them a call ask where this will go to etc, Im almost postive its going to Germany then to Norway wont be there tomorrow

MEMPHIS, TN
is there masterhub. its prob on its way on airplane or something

hm yep.. just found that Memphis International is worlds largest cargo airport .... but is it really more efficiant to ship it to memphis instead of just stuffing it on a plane from NY?

All Fedex shipments go through Memphis TN no matter how small. Even when I receive a check in an envelope, it goes all the way to TN first and I'm in NY.

doesn' that cost them a bunch of extra green to do it that way?

Most every shipping company has a main hub that it all goes thru.

fedex is slow as hell:

16th today and no update yet... yesus! :/

The fastest international fedex delivery is 1-3 days. All express shipments go through their hub in memphis. If they shipped it economy, it's 3-5 days. Just look at the tracking number and it will tell you either economy or priority. We ship hundreds of fedex packages a day and never have problems.

Service type Intl Economy Box ... $60 wasted on shipping.. I ordered the package through Amazon on september 9... paid for FedEx International Priority .. got economy and estimated delivery is sep 20th... :mad:

Send med DHL neste gang.. :thumbsup
