There is a "rule" that applies to every shipping company, all of them!

If you don't need it for a month, it will get there really fast. The more you need it, the more delays and screw-ups, and unexplained delays. If it is vital, it will be lost.

We have a roll of processed aerial film getting shipped to us via Fed-Ex overnight, first AM as soon as possible as it was a project we flew and out client was jumping up and down wanting it delivered. It was a project we could not refly as the dirt work had begun and the area was changed.

Fed-Ex had not delivered it by even 10:00 AM so we called and asked where is our package. They said it was delivered. I said I got to work at 7:00 AM and they had not been here. They showed it was delivered to the wrong address in a very bad part of town, and we could go get it. I lost it, and explained I could not leave and they needed to bring it to us NOW. Finally a manager got in her personal car, found it on a front porch, with no one home and no signature, and it was shipped signature required. We got it late, and they balked at refunding the shipping cost for failure to deliver on time.
