Looks like they'll get a day of rest on 12/31/10. Their website says this will be a holiday. My order will be sitting in some cold warehouse for New Years

Looks like they do inventory the 2nd-9th too. So maybe there will be some delays due to that. "Expedited Shipping" is unavailable during this time on most products.

Expect delayed delivery today

I have a few boxes shipped yesterday. UPS tracking showed they were out for delivery before 6AM. On a normal day they usually out for delivery between 7:30 to 8:30 and arrive around 9:30.

At 10:00 AM they are still no show, so I call UPS. The rep checked and said today because of holiday the drivers are given 90 minutes lag. For residential address the promised time is 10:30AM on Next Day Air. Add the 90 minutes lag that means the driver could come as late as 12:00 Noon.

It is 10:45AM now, and I am still waiting. This is derailing our plan of going out to have a New Year Eve Lobster Buffet Lunch Feast!

I would rather they dont deliver until Monday...

Hit the Post Office this morning and picked up the last 3 boxes of 2010. Been a good year for coin miles.

Same here! Getting a P.O box makes the process much simpler.

I placed an order to my PO box for $500 - 1 box was shipped through USPS and the other through FedEx. Anyone have this happen to them? Fedex est time of delivery is Jan 4th and it shipped Dec 28th. I didn't think FedEx shipped to a PO box?

The longest for me has been the next day. You may have gotten lucky!

FedEx SmartPost

When you need to ship low-weight packages to residential customers, consider efficient, economical FedEx SmartPost service. By utilizing the United States Postal ServiceŽ (USPS) for final delivery, FedEx SmartPost reaches every U.S. address, including P.O. boxes and military APO and FPO destinations. You can even use FedEx SmartPost to ship to Alaska, Hawaii and all U.S. territories.

10 day rule

if you place an order and it arrives less than 10 days later, do you wait until the 10th day or place one upon arrival? website language aside, what's been your experience?

The 10 days is from date of the order. Doesn't have anything to do with arrival.
