Pastel in the mail

My pastel het albino is in the mail. Yeison dropped him off at the FedEx office at 6:47 p.m. because he will ship out around 7:00 or they close at 7:00 one of those two. I can't wait, I am so excited! FedEx tracker says he will arrive tomorrow before 4:30 p.m. but he has assured me that he will be here by 10:30 a.m. It will be a long night of refreshing the page, probably won't be able to sleep tonight. Also going to buy a juvenile 100% het albino female from him in a month or so, after I get a car. Hoping to prove him out next year. Will post pictures and an unboxing video to this thread as soon as I am able :)

Waiting for the fed ex guy tomorrow is always the hardest part. My guy doesn't seem to get the whole not leaving things on my doorstep in the middle of winter but I'm always checking the door anyway. Good luck getting some sleep tonight he'll get there safe and sound i'm sure.

I go to the tracking page and click the button to have it held @ fed ex facility....The facility is like 5 blocks from me, but i never get packages before 6pm.... So I pick it up as soon as the overnight truck drops them off

Winter? What winter? It was 70 degrees today, even for Tennessee this is crazy it's December. But yeah i'm not taking chances i'm going to grab a book and some coffee and sit on the front porch from 8:00 a.m. until he arrives.

well i am in NM and it was 7 degrees here

I've had all my shipments held at the local FedEx facility. I would always go pick them up on my lunch break (when I worked) and then run them home.

I always got the "what's in this box?" question from the FedEx people.

Or sometimes they'd bring the box out to me upside down and I'd be like freaking out trying to get my hands on it to upright it.

I've got my new baby coming on Wednesday, so I share your excitement. I'll probably be up all night tomorrow night watching the website. :P I'm not worried about cold here either though. I'm in Florida, so our highs this week are in the 81-88 range. Ugh. Why must it always be hot in the middle of winter. :/

I would pick him up at the FedEx facility, but I don't have a car right now and I will be at home all day tomorrow. I don't mind sitting on my porch with a good book until he arrives :)

That sounds so exciting! Goodluck with him! I got a few coming my way also! :D

I have never had a package come later than 10:30 am unless it was sent the wrong way and I've never sent a package that didn't get there before 10:30 am except when Tennessee had issues recently :P

Fed-ex Overnight priority guarantees shipments by 10:30 am unless you live in the boonies, makes me wonder why your tracking says by 4:30pm :confused:

Pastel het albino...congrats :)

Congratulations Evan! I Hope he gets there safe and sound. I am pairing up my male pastel male with one of my het albino females this season. I probably should have bought a pastel het albino instead of trying to make 50% hets. Good luck with him.:)

Watched his progress last night until about 2:00 a.m. He arrived in Memphis from Miami at 11:38 a.m. So I was staying up to watch the next step, but no. He didn't leave Memphis until 5:04 a.m. He arrived at the destination sort facility at 6:58 a.m. so i'm just wondering how much longer it will take to get him sorted and on his way to me. Hard to believe he's only 30 minutes away from me, they need to hurry up all this waiting is killing me :rolleyes:

I get it now, they update progress about ten minutes after the event actually happened. Says he arrived in Knoxville, TN at the FedEx destination facility at 8:20 a.m. Won't be long now! :D

Sounds exciting. I just got a pastel in the mail last week. It was UPS though. They came an hour earlier than the track said. And the delivery guy came in a delivery bicycle.......my poor snake....and to add to that, the delivery guy apparently can't read the big bold words on the box and proceeded to leave my package sideways........

Hope you have a smarter guy than I did! Haha.

Congrats on your new snake!

I live in a small town with a population of 35-40k people and fed ex 10:30 guaranteed deliver is not guaranteed here. I live 5 blocks from the fed ex location here, and still dont get my overnight untill 4pm @ the earliest.... last summer in 110 degree weather I had a male pinstripe not show up untill 7... I was not a happy camper.

Well I still don't have him. I've been told that my driver is in Greenback right now and depending how many other deliveries there are is when I should get him. But Greenback is not that big so it should only be another hour or so. At least my driver knows that it's a live snake and that it needs to be delivered A.S.A.P. :)

Last fed ex shippment I got didn't get to me until 4:21 p.m. My first Pied and Het Pied pair. I can bet I was looking out the window every 2 minutes. They said it was delayed in Tenn. due to fog, but I was also tracking my order and it said the package was in Tampa at 6 a.m. that morning.

The package finally got to me and everything was o.k.
