It's more an office/local screw up though, and not a general Fedex one.
This is the reason I don't like FedEx for deliveries to my home--I always have to drive to their airport facility to pick up my stuff. FedEx is built around delivering to businesses, not homes. By contrast, UPS leaves stuff at my home.
As to the whole Saturday delivery thing, I agree that you got you paid for, so stop complaining. You learned that "two-day" shipping really means "two business days, and not a minute sooner." In one of my orders, I ordered on a Friday. FedEx had it in town on Saturday, but held it for delivery until Tuesday. Oh well, I got what I paid for, so no complaining. But UPS gets bonus points for delivering something the next day even though I paid for 2-day shipping. And, as I've already said, UPS delivers to my home.
