They Just Don't Give A Ship

Today it's time for yet another of my shipping rants. We have been expecting some important documents to be delivered by FedEx - you know, the sign-and-return kind of documents. Yesterday while we were still sleeping we got a message on the machine from the driver saying that they were short on drivers and he'd like to deliver our package to the Village, about 30 miles away from our home. I called the local office to find out what the deal was, and they said he was out for delivery and that the package should be delivered to the house after all. Great, right? No. The package did not show up. Isn't the FedEx slogan something like "The World, On Time"? Considering that this is not the first time something like this has happened, I'm thinking it should be something more like "Some Places, As Long As It's A Place With Lots Of Cars and Tall Buildings, If The Weather Is Nice, The Driver Feels Like It, And We Can Get Those Nice Little Sandwiches With The Crusts Cut Off For Lunch - Oh, And A Shrubbery". See, now it's Saturday so I have to wait two more extra days to get my documents because they don't deliver on the weekends! I realize we live in a vaguely remote area, but if you're going to sell a service, DELIVER, for heaven's sake!!!
