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.
