UPS and FedEx might rumble at my place
June 20, 2006A couple weeks ago I bought two different items over at Woot.com–a pair of wireless controllers for my PS2 and a wireless headphone for my ancient iPod. They’re both scheduled to arrive today, but via competing carriers.
They were in two different warehouses, one in Texas and the other in California. They shipped on different days and different carriers, the headphones via UPS and the PS2 controllers via FedEx Ground. Originally the PS2 controllers were scheduled to arrive later this week, but I just checked tracking this morning and they’re already out for delivery. And the wireless headphones are out on a UPS truck for delivery as well.
The two shippers could run into each other at my house. I hope they’re civil to each other, I would hate to come home and find there had been some kind of incident between them.
