FedEx picked up our crate at our school, right at the end of the day. Just enough to make me sweat. The driver was real nice and remembered us last year and knows about the program and the donation by FedEx. Because Monday was a holiday and they were swamped with work, HE WAS TOLD BY HIS BOSS TO PICK UP PAID SHIPMENTS FIRST. Luckily he said that he had just enough time to still get our crate. When I asked him about the procedure for postponing a pickup (if it happens) - he said we'd be issued special notification about a delayed pickup and that we could use that to prove to FIRST that it is not our fault. This is not official by any means but having some proof that you tried to get FedEx to pickup on the due date should suffice.
