Fedex Online....

[Modo]

I know some of you may be wondering about Fedex orders and such in light of what happened. I know this may be insignificant compared to what has happened. But, its the small things that help us get our minds off of the terrible. This is what our Operations Manager here at my agency had to say in an email.


****************************
I spoke with FedEx this morning. They will be running business-as-usual today and planes will be flying tonight (pending FAA).

They will not be offering the Extra Hours service so the normal pick-up/store front hours will be the last time you can drop something off tonight.

FedEx did warn me that packages going into and out of NY area (LaGuardia, Newark, Kennedy and this includes Wilton) will probably be delayed another 24 hours since their sort facility at Newark will be off-line. Newark Airport is going to remain closed until tomorrow.

Thanks.

Hope this clears up any questions out there. On a side note: I am in no way connected to or with any MO, LFS or Fedex. Just wanted to pass along some info I had recieved.

As an owner of a MO company and an employee of FedEx, I would like to give the following information. I would not recommend shipping any live goods with either of the two major overnight carriers (FedEx or UPS) tonight or this week. When service resumes tonight or tomorrow night, the system will probably be over-capacity and many packages will be delayed. FedEx has removed its "Money Back Guarantee" until flights are back on regular schedules. Please do not carlessly ship any animals if there is not a 100% chance that they will arrive the next day.

Good idea Litoria! I guess I didn't quite express my thoughts as well as I wanted to.

I was mainly referring to packages already in route.

Thanks for the info from a 1st hand source.

litoria-

There is NEVER a 100% chance that packages will arrive on time. FedEx has returned my money more than once!

So much for getting my LR on Friday. My wife will be pleased she doesn't have to put it in the tank
