Anyone else waiting for Crate Pickup?

[merybar]

I was in panic mode especially when they didnt show up till after 2 and it was supposed to be picked up by 2. Then when they showed at 2:10 they had the wrong truck. Just got picked up at 5:05.
Panic mode has ceased

Here in Canada, there is no fed ex donated shipping.

So for the last 2 year we have used a private shipping company. Our cost is $56 + gas. for a 4' x 4' x 67" crate weighing 450lbs

We asked them to show up at 4pm today, we had the robot all done and crated by 2pm and waited around for 2 hours, they where right on time.

We where so happy we went and had a team dinner and called it a night. Its so nice to be home before 9pm.

we aren't getting picked up until tomorrow. You should have seen my face when i got that phone call from the FedEx rep. I thought we were going to have to drive it over tonight to keep from getting disqualified. Anyway, the FIRST and FedEx rep were great in handling this so i can now relax.

I think our team wins. We went into panic mode yesterday at 1 pm when a fedex driver walked into the warehouse and asked "yall the ones needing the freight pickup?" luckily they sent another driver today, albeit a little later then they said he would be. But hey, better than losing a build day.

FedEx Freight was a bit overextended here in Maryland. Ship Day is turning into "Ship Daze" Lots of rescheduling going on.

What they told me was just have it ready to ship tomorrow. If you are using the donated FedEx Shipment FIRST has the tracking numbers. I would drop FIRST an email letting them know what is going on and the 'bot is in the box ready to go.

when we called fedex to conform the pick up between 3-5 they told us we were good. about 6 rolled around and panic mode was set. Called fedex and they said we were rescheduled for tomorrow afternoon. well, few more calls and they picked us up at 9:00PM tonight. I guess they where crazy busy today
