Dear Santa:

I am having issues with Fed Ex.  I think it would be easier to have Santa in a sled pulled by reindeer land on my roof than get this one package from Fed Ex.  I am closed on Monday.  I came in yesterday because I knew UPS was going to deliver a package.  I did not want to miss it.  It also gave me time to get some things done.  I left the shop a few minutes before noon.  I had to go to the bank and take Coco to school.  I came back here about 12:20 and left again.
This morning I come in and find a note from Fed Ex.  I missed a delivery.  They left a door tag.  No details except the date 12/26.  Really?  That is when you are going to deliver a package I missed on 12/17.  I checked on-line.  Package was sent to a town about 40 minutes away today.  I made a call to see if I had to go there to pick it up.  They told me two attempts to deliver had already been made.  I asked when the first one was.  She said Saturday.  I said if he would have door tagged me on Saturday, I would have known to wait for a package yesterday.  She said they are always to door tag when they try to deliver.  Well you know what, they didn't. 
Now I wait while they try to figure out what is going on with the package.  The package I obviously need for Christmas.  I am doing 99.5% of my shopping on-line.  I need to count on deliveries.  Fed Ex you are losing to UPS. 
I have a Tracking #, a Door Tag #, now I have been given a Case #.  Awesome.  You know what I want?  My PACKAGE. 
Fa la la la la..................

**Update** - The package arrived.  It was not my usual Fed Ex person.  It was a very frazzled lady.  She said she had been stuck a couple of times today.  She was in the country.  Had to wait on tow truck.  Sounded like more than once.  I felt sorry for her.  I really don't want to feel sorry for Fed Ex.  I want to feel like they have it all under control.  If this lady was stuck on an island with a volleyball, it would not go well.
The important thing is I have my package.  I am down to two more packages.  Looks good for an internet Christmas at my house.  Little shop local and I will be done.  This is Christmas Light.  I am trying not to spend a fortune.  No income is one reason.  The other is there is not one person in my family that really "Needs" anything.  We really have more than we need.  Hope everyone is happy!

I'm glad you finally got your package. We must have different fed ex people. They leave packages at my door no matter what it is and i'm never home when they're here. Sometimes I wonder.

I hate Fed Ex too. The person sending the package can request a signature or not. That's why some packages are just left at the door. When anything is delivered to a business address, a signature is mandatory. How I know this? My daughter in-law's brother is a driver for fed ex and he told me all about it when I complained about Fed Ex.
