    Grumble Grumble Fedex Grumble Grumble

    I just love it. FedEx driver is pretty well known where I am. My new snake is being delivered to work so I asked him to confirm she was on truck when he picked it up. She's not. Appears that the plane from Austin, TX to Brownwood, TX may have been delayed at the airport and won't arrive in Brownwood till late. Might be making a 45 minute drive as soon as she's on the ground. Otherwise she overnights again in a box and I don't want that. Overnight here is supposed to be in the 60s, so it won't be awful, but still don't want to make her wait.

    I feel your pain. At least the temps are in a safe range.

    I've got one arriving today as well.
    Never at ease until they show up safely.
    The previous snake did take an extra 24 hours.

    Ugh, that stinks. I have a love/hate relationship with FedEx. Hopefully the snake is packed well and will do just fine if delayed. Nice that the weather is cooperating. My Dumeril's was trapped in a box for 4 nights on her little FedEx adventure before arriving safely.

    Fed Ex is the worst, at least the last few months. Lost several of my packages and then after a week reappear. Most are are two days late if not lost. I don’t trust them with over night anything.

    It's stressful until you have them in hand

    So, FedEx Corporate sucks ass.

    My local driver is a stud. He had someone from the air port meet him in his delivery truck and brought me my new snake. I have her now. She's getting settled. I'll get pictures when she's eaten and what not. I've got another coming tomorrow so will get 2 for 1 picture post this weekend.

    Best,

    Paul
