2 days ago it was sent to the albany ny USPS regional sorting facility. this is 200 miles away from my house.
yesterday it was recieved at newark mail air freight terminal and sent to the kearny regional sorting facility.
this morning it was sent to the south amboy post office (2 miles away from the keasby fedex building),
for delivery tonight(maybe) to my post office for delivery on monday or tuesday.

i hate fedex with a passion, and will not give them a penny for shipping anything. they are without a doubt the absolute worst shipper on the planet!!
even DHL is better than fedex, and they are horrible.

if a package is marked fragile, fedex will go the extra mile to make sure whatever is in it will be smashed to a gazillion pieces.
then they will say it can not be delivered because they cant find the address on the package.

I have this insane mail forwarding service out of SD (S Dakota) because we travel half the year. Where I'm at here in AZ, USPS will not forward mail. So, every two weeks I get mail sent 'general delivery' where I tell the mail forwarding service to send it. Every time I order something I have to ask, what shipping method do you use? If I forget to ask they will send it to SD and then I pay again to get it shipped back to me. I bought something over Amazon who claimed they ship FedEx, which they did right to this town then turned it over to the post office. They sent it to SD, of course it was something I needed right away. I was in flames!! Also, to buy online, you have to fill out the shipping address and the billing address. What a royal pain!!

UPS is prolly the best shipping service out there by a good margin. Of course, its also one of those things "you get what you pay for"... Theyre expensive. Usually twice what it costs to ship it USPS

Looks like there will be a party of 3 heading to RRE this year. We are super excited. Except now I have to cram 5 years of house Reno into 9 months. Lol
