    It has happen to me before when I shipped to one of my customer, the key is to properly package and avoid shipping in extreme condition.

    The snake made it just fine and arrived the day after the original schedule delivery.

    Things happen, plane break down, bad weather conditions, etc

    That's what I'm doing. Sitting around after taking the day off from work. Very aggravating.

    That's weird. I had a shipment come through Memphis very early this AM and arrive in Nashville on time... (Shipped from Florida).

    Yeah not buying the weather delay. My package arrived from VA to Memphis, TN at 3:33 AM and the flight to Fort Myers, FL (FDX 1465) from Memphis left at 4:07 AM. So my package missed the flight to Florida for unknown reasons.

    It was containerized so they could not visually observe it.

    Although my shipment came in without issue through memphis, into florida...I wouldn't discount the weather issue. This is from the FedEx site itself:

    LOL I have been staring at that off and on all day! I do believe they had bad weather in Memphis, but their plane took off exactly on time to Ft Myers 5:07 EST. (Every morning it leaves at 5:07) And my package made it there before it took off. I did work for UPS for 2 years and I have seen that packages sometimes get lost. It's just upsettingto me when it's an animal. If it was a Dell computer, no big deal.

    I called in work that i would be late tomorrow. I won't be able to update this thread tomorrow, cause I'll be in a rush to get to work after I make sure she's ok. And I'm working late till 8PM but I will come back then to let you know the outcome.

    Hopefully I'll be able to sleep better than last night.

    I made this thread cause I was really angry at the time, now just worried. :(
