fedex question

**rillantz** · 07-28-2008, 12:02 PM

I had a friend send me a personal package, he sent it fedex instead of usps like I had asked him to do. I got the tracking number the other day and it is supposed to arrive tommorrow, but the problem is the tracking hasn't been updated in 4 days. I'm paranoid to say the least. Do they sometimes not update their tracking or should I be worried. Thanks

I don't know about fedex but i will check my packages on usps and they will show it not even in the states yet then all of a sudden i will get it like the next day....

it wasnt international was it. fedex would never open a domestic package unless it was so severly damaged it would have to be repacked.

i wouldnt worry about it

I hear ya, I have had the same thing happen with USPS. Just haven't dealt with fedex that much. It was sent domestic and pretty much a coast to coast delivery. I guess we will see tommorrow. I am just paranoid by nature!

Negative, it was domestic. That does make me feel better. I am just worried because they haven't updated the tracking in a few days.

Not true bro...fedex has their own security dept....and they are randomly screening packs with x-ray machine...to be on the safe side clean house and do not sign for anything.

The way I was looking at it, was that it would have gone through at least one scan in 4 days unless something had happened. I thought that fedex and ups were pretty up to date on their tracking sites, so I am a little worried.

**Bigmax** · 07-28-2008, 01:58 PM

They are very up to date bro....so i can see your concern...

**rillantz** · 07-28-2008, 02:05 PM

I repeatedly told him to send it USPS or don't send it at all. It is just a personal use pak, is there any chance it will just be seized or am I looking at the fuzz stopping by?

**mauler** · 07-28-2008, 02:07 PM

big max do you work for fedex. cause i know alot that do.

**Bigmax** · 07-28-2008, 02:11 PM

My friend, actually my brother is who is a detective is also a supervisor for their security dept...Fedex also has a customs office for intl packs...ask your friends if they knew that...is that good enuff for you???

**mauler** · 07-28-2008, 02:21 PM

yeah for intl packages. no duh. random scans arwe very few for domestic. i know a terminal mgr. hey im not ging to post my background here though

**Bigmax** · 07-28-2008, 02:35 PM

I never asked you to bro...lets leave this alone bro...

**mauler** · 07-28-2008, 02:44 PM

yeah i know. enough said.

**rillantz** · 07-28-2008, 02:49 PM

I appreciate both of you guys input. I guess what to do now is up to me.

**40plusnewbie** · 07-28-2008, 03:35 PM

I recently had a package sent from west coast to east cost fed ex. It showed on the site 'fedex notified of package for shipment' or something like that. It showed that same thing for like 4 days, maybe 5. Then the next thing it shows package delivered.

So I wouldn't worry about it. This was a cpl weeks ago.

**rillantz** · 07-28-2008, 04:37 PM

Good point bro. Also, just checked the tracking and it arrived in the city closest to me today. So I am gonna ride it out. I feel a little better about it now.

**rillantz** · 07-30-2008, 02:29 PM

Just to update, everything turned out fine!

**jamyjamjr** · 07-30-2008, 04:38 PM

haha paranoia sucks!!!!

**stpete** · 07-30-2008, 04:52 PM

For future reference, go ups. As long as they get your $ they couldn't care less. Used to work there.

I wouldnt worry aahole lot. MANY times no matter the carrier,,,tracking and or delivery info is not timely or updated.

**eliteforce** · 08-01-2008, 08:35 PM

have had fedex delivered to me int., usually w/ fedex int. tracking is very detailed and moves fast, like 3 days the thing is done..maybe he used some kind of domestic economy fedex service, i think theres a thing called 'fedex ground' for usa?
