Package currently on a site seeing trip across America

[thekozz7]

I find this rather amusing. I'm in California and I ordered a pair of shoes from a seller located in New Jersey. Fed-Ex tracking shows that the shoes first went to Minnesota. Then Iowa. Then onto Nebraska. Then Colorado. And Arizona. And now the package is in Nevada.

Lol, is this normal for Fed-Ex? Or has the package been misdirected 6 times? Also, does Fed-Ex deliver on a Sunday? I'm asking this because I mistakenly gave our home mailing address instead of our safe and secure P.O. Box and I've been making sure that I'm home during delivery hours, so I can grab the package before the porch pirates do.

I have plans to go out tomorrow during the day, but if Fed-Ex does indeed deliver on Sundays I'll have to stay home. Does anyone know?

Not true. Your confusing shipping services.

FedEx Ground and UPS Ground do not deliver to PO Boxes.  If you use street addressing they deliver to that street address.

FedEx SmartPost and UPS SurePost do deliver to PO Boxes because the final delivery is handled by USPS. If you live in a rural area and have only PO Box service USPS will deliver a street addressed package to your PO Box. That is not handled by FedEx or UPS.

Not confused at all. FedEx Home Delivery, FedEx Ground, and UPS Ground, FedEx and UPS Express, and FedEx SmartPost and UPS SurePost all get delivered to my PO Box.

I'm fully aware that only SmartPost and Surepost can be directly addressed to a PO Box address, but when I use the alternate street addressing format all services are deliverable to the PO Box (and as far as USPS is concerned, that street address is one of my PO Box addresses.)

You are just playing word games.

Sounds like, perhaps, OP has not heard of the USPS "Street Addressing Program" and apparently hasn't been reading the threads for months, where you have posted, numerous times, links to the forms & instructions for enrolling in the Street Addressing Program such that FedEx & UPS WILL deliver packages/parcels that end up in a USPS Post Office Box.

IF the address provided to those carriers IS the physical location of the building where a PO Box is located, the carrier HAS to deliver to that location.  The rub is that the carriers can not place your item in a PO BOX only the USPS can do that.  For that to happen, a person with a PO Box has to "finagle" the USPS into placing the delivered item in your PO Box.   The Street Addressing Program is the method in which this "finagle" happens.

Just in case ignorance*** is the reason for this "debate", here is a link that can "cure" any such ignorance!  It explains the USPS program where FedEx & UPS "can" indeed deliver a package that ends up in a PO Box.
