No footprints in the fresh snow to indicate an attempt either. So hopefully they'll leave it on the porch today (???), as I'm stuck at work all week. Frustrating, but hey... stuff happens! Maybe the weather fouled up their routes that day or something.
Tks,

A similar thing happened recently with an item I had shipped, except that it showed as "On FedEx vehicle for delivery" for several days. A call to FedEx brought no information that I hadn't already seen on their web site. An e-mail to the recipient confirmed that he hadn't received it.
He asked around a bit, and was informed that road closures due to mudslides had really put a kink in transportation between Ventura and Santa Barbara - talk about stuff happening! The package was delivered 4 business days after it first showed as being on the truck.
It's the first time that I've had even the slightest hitch with FedEx, and I ended up looking good anyway. The delay didn't bother the recipient, and I think he appreciated that I was looking out for him.
