Fedex Vs. Severe winter

FedEx Express experienced substantial flight and sort disruptions last night due to winter weather, snow and ice at the Memphis hub. Potential delays are possible for package deliveries across the U.S. with a delivery commitment of February 12, 2014. FedEx is committed to provide service to the best of our ability. Please continue to check FedEx Service Alerts for updates.


I am expecting packages.

I am disgruntled.

Science lied to me.

I’m expecting a package today too, but the tracking says it’s on a truck out for delivery and we’re only experiencing severe mild weather in CA.

We're pussies in CA though. In San Diego they declare a state of emergency if the temp moves out of the mid 70's and a few small clouds form in the sky. :x

I had some custom speakers being built for me the last 2 month or so, and they are finally done this week. Trouble is, there's so much snow in Kentucky where they were built, they can't get their forklift out to load them onto a truck. :(

And that's just to take them to the UPS freight office to ship them to me, who knows what delays UPS will have by then too.

I'm curious to know what speakers require a forklift to lift.

Yes, those in the pic are an older style though and I'm getting mine done custom in Sitka spruce. Just got the tracking number too, woo hoo!

I'm sure they are quality speakers and the wood plays a part, but I seriously flashed back to my parents' first component stereo system in the 80's. Large size was synonymous with quality, period.
