    Re: Do you fret when shipping

    If the recipient is not home the packages can usually be picked up at the local Fed-X office. I would feel more comfortable with it being at the office and accounted for rather than left on a doorstep (depending on the neighborhood) and I would not trust that all the drivers would "make sure it is in the shade".

    If the recipient missed the shipment and then could not be bothered to drive to the local office well then....errrm...no comment.

    Re: Do you fret when shipping

    I got a note a few hours ago (I took a nap after finding that they where ok, as I was up untill I found out they where ok). They where cold, but better a bit cold then cooked. I was surprised that the cold pack kept them so cold. The young man who got the girls was busy taking care of them before shooting me an email. He wanted to make sure they warmed up and where moving about before contacting me. What a relief. Thanks for supporting me I was a basket case.

    I understand your points, and would never question there validity. I am just relaying my experience with FedEx, after shipping about 50 boxes last year.
