Was expecting a FedEx delivery yesterday, and when it didn't arrive, I kept watching the tracking info. It finally showed a "Delivery Exception" at 9:31pm, when the truck got back to Sherman, Tx (our local FedEx hub).
The cause was listed as "Local weather delay - Delivery not attempted." Far as I know, we didn't even get a sprinkle yesterday, so I'm guessing the guy just wanted to go home after 15+ hrs (package showed to be on the truck at 6:04am).
Anywho...
What made me post this was looking at their FAQ today (package still hasn't arrived btw). Here's an excerpt:
The Tracking Page doesn't seem to work. Could the problem be my Web browser?
The FedEx Home Page was constructed using current HTML standards. These standards are supported by most, but not all, WWW browsers. If you are a CompuServe user with a Mosaic browser, you may wish to try Netscape or a similar browser. CompuServe sysop suggests you GO PCFF to download Netscape.
CompuServe users may also want to try loading the new version of CompuServe WinCim 2.01, which has a new version of the Spry-Mosaic browser.
Some America Online users have had trouble because the default settings in version 2.5 of the AOL software include compressed graphics, which adversely affect how the FedEx web site is displayed. You may want to go to Preferences in the Options menu and turn compression off. Should your problems persist, you may wish to contact AOL Technical Support.
Yeah... I'll upgrade from Mosaic to Netscape and call AOL immediately.
