[QUOTE="Brownforall, post: 687634, member: 28243"] Sounds like the backups here in the blizzard (s) area of DC/ VA /MD /PA are going to continue into next week as well. I ordered Valentine's flowers mistakenly though FedEx, and they were delivered ahead of schedule this morning. My UPS Next Day Air 10:30am letter that I had placed before the second blizzard was just delivered on late Friday. Is it just sheer volume at UPS (twice as much as FedEx i presume) that is causing such a disparity? If I had used UPS as I had planned to for the flowers, they may not have gotten there until long past the survival rate of the blooms. I agree that the OT cost may have been a big factor and that ground delivery would understandably wait until normal hours of next week. But damn -- how does FedEx do it? - they're in the same snow states as UPS. Or is it just a smoke and mirrors appearance, and the complaints about FedEx are hidden somewhere in their hubs? [/QUOTE]
