Is it possible the load got a time stamp leaving its origin hub that wasn't 100% accurate?

Driving from NC to south Florida is about 11 hours and 37 minutes according to Google maps.
So yeah your claim is BS. Unless you're going 100 mph.

I just tracked it again for giggles. It got scanned at 8 pm, and then 1115 pm and then depart at 12 am

If I leave at 12am Monday and have to be somewhere at 6am on Tuesday, that gives me 30 hours of drive time! How is driving from NC to Miami and back B.S.???

Not only Amazon, but I've never bought one thing online.

You can't put ground on a plane unless you know what is in it. Not to mention Ground and Express operate as two separate companies.
only true for DG labeled packages. I ship air all the time and do not declare contents.

BFF does not understand this. He thinks it was scanned at 8 pm, and then at 1115 pm on Monday and then departed Monday night at 12 am.
What he doesn't understand is that the 8:00 pm and 11:15 pm scans were Sunday night and then it left at midnight on Sunday, or technically 12 am Monday.
That correctly gives the package 30 hours to arrive at his center by 6:00 am on Tuesday to be put on a package car.

You can't upgrade a ground package to air without talking to the customer. It isn't just for DG. We've had several cases where packages weren't properly RTSed and the air guys won't accept it until we find out what is in it. I believe there are different Terms and Conditions with air and ground.

Ok let me correct myself, it left Monday night/Tuesday morning at 12 am and got to hub at tues 6 am. Maybe I wasn't clear. My bad. 6 hours of transit time. I hope that clears it up
How the hell they got it from NC to Fl in 6 hours I have no idea. They must have a super fast ground feeder network which I don't think they do.

If it was true that it left Monday at midnight, technically 12 am Tuesday, then I apologize and you are correct. It cannot make it there in 6 hours going ground.

They might operate as two separate companies but I would not put it past Fred S to do some shady crap like move ground by air for huge accounts just to beat time in transit. This was Wal mart package so anything is possible.

It was my mistake. It processed through their hub Monday evening but left 12 am tues morning. And was at the destination hub by 6 am Tuesday.
I should of been more clear on that. It happens when I multi task life apparently [emoji23]

got to agree here. in the last two weeks i binge shopped a little and ordered 9 items using amazon prime. 8 came USPS and 1 came UPS. on top of that, 4 items were delivered over the weekend including 2 ordered late friday night and delivered sunday morning. about 33 hour turnaround. USPS also has decent tracking and notification by text just like UPS my choice. my phone when off at 9:30 sunday morning as i heard the mail truck pulling away!

I've been on a roll lately. The majority of my Amazon shipments have all come UPS. I only order things from Amazon that I can't find locally or when Amazon is substantially less expensive than what is offered locally.

Thank god, no more staying out until 930 on new years eve delivering people's bark collars... this one guy insisted on telling me what he had in his amazon box waisting my time and it turned out to be a bark collar. I was watching fireworks go off on my way into the building.
