UPS just delivered a package for my wife but my vid card is still sitting in the terminal - right where it's been all weekend - waiting for tomorrow's delivery. If this was FedEx, I'd have had the card today.
That's happened to me before too with car parts. I had a couple replacement parts shipped from an Audi dealer in Washington State for my Jetta and paid for the basic UPS ground shipping, 5-7 days. I saw the package arrived in NJ on day 4 and they held it in their facility that's 30 minutes away from my house for 3 days. I was so pissed because I was carless for that whole time. Fedex keeps the package moving constantly. I checked again today on the site and it still says Billing Info Recieved. I bet it won't even be here tomorrow which will be day 3 of my 3 day shipping. Never again UPS.
