Digging through stuff while I’m working from home. I’ve been picking these National Geographic slipcases for years, usually for 25-50 Cents apiece. My goal was to recover them somehow, but today I decided to just use them as they are, after all, only the spine is marked. They are working pretty well for my Osprey war books. I’m sure I’ll find some other uses shortly.

Random gripe. The only shipping company I consistently receive items from after the original date is FedEx. The fact that they now allow you to monitor the shipping on their website make it worse. Current example: Product ships from Miami Florida on May 12th with an expected delivery of May 21st. Product is scanned into FedEx facility in Fife Washington on May 16th. That is a couple hundred miles from me and making that last leg in 5 days should be no problem. So no movement until May 20th, the day before the scheduled arrival date. Problem is that the package is heading away from and is at the Auburn Washington FedEx location. Maybe that is a hub and it will be transferred from there down to me, could happen. Nope. Today, the original estimated delivery date, the estimated arrival date has been pushed out until May 26th, five more days. Truth be told, I do not need this item in a hurry and do not mind delays. It just seems that this happens consistently with FedEx. This package spent four days traveling across the country leaving it five days to get across Washington. Instead it is now estimated to spend 10 days just to travel the last 200 miles. I actually think it has happened on the last three or four FedEx deliveries I have received. Most of my products come from other carriers and I believe I have had two issues in the last ten years from all other carriers combined. FedEx just sucks at their main job, at least around here. Rant over.

PS. I have never had an issue with UPS here.

Well my package continues to travel farther from me. It has now been scanned in at its third FedEx facility in the Seattle in the last six days. Each one a little farther from me. It has traveled from Fife to Auburn and now Kent. On a bright note they have also change the estimated delivery date. Originally the 21st, then the 26th and now the 23rd.
