1. Normal. It's probably ground and they don't track it while it's being transported. Only when it hits the warehouse or sorting facility.
2. msot likely it is on its way. it usually happens when itis ground ship. You can also call 1800 go fedex... and find out. they can give you more info. and ask him if it there is any problem with the shipment... they can look it up for you
3. Totally normal. FedEx does not mean overnight. It looks totally fine - the package is moving through the system. They won't update it as it crosses state lines, just as it moves through distribution facilites and it can be scanned
4. My experience with FedEx is that they are more reliable than UPS and there is less of a chance that the package looks like it was hit by a steamroller. Looking at the stops, it tells me that it is a ground delivery as all rush shipments go thru Memphis (or was it Nashville?). Ground delivery is not a priority item for FedEx or any other courier service. As for the package, it is probably on a long haul truck to your regional center. There is a chance it might have been delayed by weather. I would suggest that you check the last thing you do tonight. If it is in the city, you should see it delivered sometime the next day (probably mid day to late afternoon). If not, it might be the next day. BTW, don't be surprised if the package was opened for inspection. You probably was shipping items that could be mistaken for real weapons you know.
