    Ok, Normally me of all people don't have anything nice to say about FedEx. But people in need to seriously chill out.

    Delays happen, and blaming a company because the weather shut everything down is just wrong. I think its amazing honestly how UPS, USPS and FedEx manage to get so many packages out in such a short time. I want to extend a Thank you to any of the employees that did volunteer to stick around and help get those peoples packages out on Christmas. People will never really understand or thank the job any of us do.

    People need to order gifts online early in the holiday season instead of waiting last minute and then throwing a fit when it doesn't arrive

    Guess allowing 14 days for a package to get from NJ to get to NC was asking too much. Package shipped the same hour.

    Well in a world where we are apparently OK with stores being open on Thanksgiving it won't be long before having packages delivered on Christmas will be expected. Kinda sucks if you ask me. It seems like every year the amount of people shopping online goes up, looks like FedEx just wasn't prepared and got caught off guard by weather where their competition didn't seem to be affected. Many moons ago you would have a hard time finding businesses that would even open on a Sunday, never mind the holidays. I guess it's the natural progression of the "I want it now" mentality.
