Hey Jake, not to be ugly or anything, but "extreme weather" means a heck of a lot more than just rain and such.....like flooding. Miami is very low and they took a butt load of water in the last three weeks, and are about to get somemore. Yeah FedEx stinks at times, but you have to think about more than just the forcast after a couple of hurricanes have gone through an area. I am in NW FL and I refuse to send or receive any shipments this week because of expected delays, weither it is because the planes might have to contend with the remenants of Gustav or the fact the roads are just messed up having to contend with refugees running from the hurricane and now returning home, or flooded roads, etc. I hope your girl gets there safe and sound, but it is just not the best week to send anything to FL. Unfortunately, with Hannah, Ike, and Josephine, might not be good the next several weeks. Just a heads up for anybody considering shipping through FL., call before and ask if there are delays in the area you are shipping to.
