My package arrived today - January 16th. It took FedEx, one of the leaders of the shipping industry, three weeks to get a package from Dallas to Albuquerque.

Pathetic. Simply pathetic.

Ordered a pizza earlier tonight. Thought this was interesting - the Specials list at the bottom of the page after logging in:

Hm. I’m thinking about ordering a large one-topping pizza. I wonder how much that would cost. I can’t help but wonder how many people choose to pay the extra buck.

Despite a published estimated arrival date of 1/12/08, my package STILL ISN’T HERE.

I ordered this package on 12/28/07 and it was picked up by FedEx on that same day. It’s been in transit for NINETEEN DAYS.

As I’ve noted repeatedly, it’s a TEN HOUR DRIVE from Dallas to Albuquerque. What the hell is going on at FedEx? This cannot be normal.

Can it?

This is an update to my post from a week ago. It seems that FedEx, not content to simply take their time, has decided that the environment is disposable. Here’s what I mean:

Now, I’m no expert, but it seems to me that flying—they couldn’t possibly be driving this route… right? um… right???—from Dallas to Los Angeles to Denver to Albuquerque isn’t the best way to get the package from Dallas to Albuquerque. For those unfamiliar with the terrain, allow me to present the map:

They went right past my house to get to L.A.! Look, I’m not the biggest environmentalist in the world. My head doesn’t explode every time I see someone using a standard light bulb instead of one of the new compact fluorescents. This though—this is such a tremendous waste of fuel and such a stupid pollution contribution that I have to wonder who the hell is running things at FedEx. Dallas is a TEN HOUR DRIVE from Albuquerque. It’s practically a straight shot!

All this for what?

A trio of random calendars that I bought for a couple of bucks from woot.com. How ridiculous is that?
