Feb 16, 2003 26,108 5 81 Had something shipped out to me today, estimated deliver is Monday because they don't deliver weekends unless you specify it. I'd like it at latest by Saturday. I'd appreciate if you could tell me if you've noticed in the past if your shipment's estimated date changed after a day or so. It is still likely I can get the shipment Friday, I'm sure the date I've been given right now is just their required delivery time.

yup, I've had things arrive at our local fedex and stay there for 2 days to make sure it wasn't delivered early. S

Feb 16, 2003 26,108 5 81 Alright, thanks guys. Basically, since weekend delivery wasn't checked, a day early would mean Friday in a sense. In any case, I'm going to upgrade it to 2 day shipping. K

Not in my life. I'd take FedEx anyday. They're always quicker on ground deliveries to me, and they ALWAYS deliver the day-of or very rarely the day before. D
