The weekend is off to a great start. My feeder worms, which were supposedly shipped overnight via FedEx on Thursday to avoid them dying in the heat, didn’t show up yesterday. I went to track it and got a system error because the FedEx site was having issues. That finally cleared, and now FedEx says it wasn’t shipped until yesterday and is only scheduled for business-day delivery, which means at least 3 days stuck in the heat. Josh’s Frogs shows it was on track for Friday delivery per FedEx info last received. That kind of points to FedEx’s system having a major meltdown. So no telling when they will get here, but it’s not boding well for them getting here alive. At least my shipment is covered by an arrive-alive guarantee.
