Maria asks…
why is my package from fedex scheduled for delivery next tuesday when its in the same state?
Okay my package came from Kansas City and it arrived at Fedex in Dallas, Texas. It says it will arrive on August 24. I live in Houston, Texas and thats a 5 hour trip by car. Whats the deal? Oh and if it says it is in Houston, Is it possible for me to pick it up? If so what do i need?
Nagesh answers:
At the Dallas terminal, the package will be sorted with the Houston packages and will be loaded onto a truck. From there, the driver will head toward Houston, may make stops at other FedEx terminals along the way, and deliver the load to the Houston Fedex terminal.
At Houston, they will sort the packages by address, and load the package onto a delivery truck. The delivery truck driver will deliver it to you when he gets to your part of his route.
The reason it says Tuesday is because FedEx doesn’t deliver on the weekend unless you pay extra for that service, and because along with your one package, there are hundreds of thousands of other packages to handle, too.
If you have the FedEx terminal stop the package and hold it so you can pick it up, it will take longer. They will have to stop the delivery, locate your package, bring it back to the terminal, set it up for pickup instead of delivery, etc. Be faster to let it just be delivered.

Paul asks…
What are the possible promotion options for a part-time FedEx Ground package handler?
My main concern is getting more tuition assistance. As of now, my hub only offers $1,500 towards tuition. I want to stay with FedEx but I know that UPS now offers $4,000 a year towards tuition. I know some places offer more assistance to those who are “package handling trainers” and/or supervisor’s, but do not know if FedEx Ground does this. Any help please?
Nagesh answers:
Fedex express gives 3k a year. If ups offers that get ready to work your butt off they are bulk load!!! And I don’t think they are hiring right now.

Fedex shipping qestion?
Right now I’m trying to ship something and I plan to go through fedex. I’m looking for nearest fedex locations using there official site. When looking for locations theres “fedex staffed” “fedex kinkos” “self service” “fedex authorize ship center” theres a fedex I know nearby but on the site it says that fedex is a “fedex staffed” does that mean I cant go there to get my item shipped? am I only supose to go to “fedex authorize ship center” when I need to ship something?
Thanks!
Nagesh answers:
Fedex staff means that location is staffed with employess who are fedex
employess
same with the kinkos there is uusally a fedex shipping specialsit at
all fedex kinko
self service just means there is a drop box at this location
an authorized ship center (this mean the store is not controlled by fedex
(like a Mailbox etc store) and might charge you more for shipping
but they can and will accpect fedex shipping
so you can go to either a Fedex stafff or Fedex kinkos (now called
Fedex office) to ship something

Why did fedex arrive so soon?
I ordered a package from Hawaii on the 17th and got it yesterday why was it so fast. Does fedex have cargo planes leaving Hawaii daily which is why i go tit so soon or is it possible they have warehouses with their product stored somewhere in the country??
Nagesh answers:
Fedex doesn’t run other companies warehouses.
Fedex is the *courier*. They *carry* the package from your *shipper* to *you*.
Your *shipper* might have warehouses on the mainland (its very possible indeed…)
Get the tracking number for the package, and check the Fedex website – – you will be able to see where (and when) the package was picked up by Fedex. And very likely a few of the points it touched along the way to you.
Joseph asks…
Are FedEx orders usually on time?
I checked the tracking # for an order I have and it says it is “On FedEx vehicle for delivery” and Estimated delivery Dec 19, 2008 by 3:00 PM. I don’t usually get anything from FedEx and I was wondering if they are usually one time, I have to leave home at 3:00 pm and am really needing the package today!
Sorry if this is in the wrong category, there’s not really a category for shipping info!
Nagesh answers:
FedEx is very good about on time arrival of shipments.
If delivery is by 3 pm today then it means FedEx can deliver the package anytime between 8 am and 3 pm and have the package be considered on time.
If you are not at home when the package arrives the driver will leave a note with a phone number to call.
I would advise calling FedEx. Explain your situation. FedEx may be able to get the driver to arrive before 3 pm. Make sure you have your
FedEx tracking number when you call. The phone number for FedEx is
1-800-Go-FedEx
