There is no shipping problem, just a communication issue between Phoenix and FedEx.

Excuse me, but there was a shipping problem. I was told by Fedex that they showed up at Phoenix on the Monday after the competition expecting to pick up 60 crates, none of which were ready. Phoenix then proceeded to give me dates on which I would be able to track my crate, none of which happened. We needed to have our robot in our hands today for an open house. The robot hadn't been shipped by Thursday morning. To Phoenix's credit, they used their own truck and delivered the robot to us yesterday. However, that wouldn't have happened unless I had been monitoring and calling them. My advice to FIRST: don't use them again. FedEx told me that they could have handled the whole thing seamlessly, including storage, delivery to the colliseum, pickup from the colliseum, etc.
