I’ve had a bunch of problems receiving a package where it required a signature in person and they wouldn’t leave it for pickup anywhere. It forced me to work from home today and what showed up around 13:00 was a FedEx delivery guy driving a rental truck. What the heck?
UPDATE: From the comments, Alexis writes:
FedEx Home Delivery drivers technically buy their own trucks; they pay the company to provide them with a company vehicle. I’m assuming that if the truck breaks down, the drivers are responsible for a formidable substitute.

Doesn’t Fed Ex have a central hub where you can pick it up at? Or is that just UPS?

Paul- Barely played with it. Been busy with work today. Hopefully I’ll get some good leaves this evening.
All- What Paul’s referring to is my new Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D that’s inside the box in the photo. Yay.
