Never seen an Amazon delivery truck around here.

Lately FedEx has been doing something interesting with their estimated dates of delivery. When I get email notices of the order from the seller concerning shipping via FedEx, FedEx will often make an unrealistic claim of estimated delivery at the same time. For instance, had I placed an order today, when that order is processed and FedEx gets notice of a label having being created, they will claim a delivery date of tomorrow, even though the package had not even been picked up yet, and the small matter of the package being clear across the country from where I am located. So every day there will be an "update" to the estimated delivery date. Often FedEx will claim one problem or another as an "EXCEPTION". Sometimes the package shows up earlier than their most current delivery date. More often it shows up at least a day later.

So when I get the initial delivery date estimate, I know it is just pie in the sky, and deserves as much attention as that.
