fedex.. out of the way?

I shipped a snake yesterday from here in NY to PA.. for arrival today. I went to track her today.. she is in Tenessee?? Talk about out of the way! But i guess they have a system or something to their madness..

Everything shipped from state to state on the east coast generally goes to Tennessee. The main Fedex sort faculity for the Eastern US is in Tenn.

im sure there is a method to their madness =]

well their madness is maddening. lol

whoo hoo.. she's in pa. fedex updated their info again and she's in pa.
:banana: :carrot: :banana: :carrot: :banana: :carrot: :banana: :carrot: :banana: :carrot: :banana: :carrot: :banana: :carrot: :banana: :carrot: :banana: :carrot: :banana:

haha.. my son is standing behind me dancing and going "peanut butter jelly time peanut butter jelly time". heh.

whoo hoo.. she has arrived. I will post pics in a bit. :D she is cute.

Awesome! I had a conniption this morning. I was just about to leave for work.. and a Fedex truck pulls down the driveway!! I about flipped, thinking that they sent her back to me.. but it was only my landlord's dumb cable box. Yay!

heh.. imagine how I would have felt when you called me to let me know :weirdface :rofl:

Daniel is right. Their main sort facility is in Tenn.
It is kind of funny to ship something from Texas to Washington state and have it get there by way of Tenn.

Whenever I ship an animal the first thing I do is call Fed Ex(or whoever you are using) and ask them the exact route. Then I check the temps at the different locations along the route and pack the animals accordingly. If you dont know where the package is going to stop you wont know what temps the animals will be subjected to and wont know what precautions to take(heat pack, cool pack, nothing). This something that you should do before they ever leave your possesion.

I am going to do that from now on. I knew that I did not need heatpacks though, as our temperatures in NY were warm enough, and the national weather looked good (no freezing anywhere.) I don't plan on shipping anything in the winter months.. too paranoid.
