    You can remove me from this tour. I got impatient and decided I wanted to "upgrade" my A2 to LIM both based on impressions and my need for quality SE output, so was going to send it in for the swap. The 16 week wait sounded tough though so I just ordered a brand spankin' new silver LIM since it was still in stock.

    So maybe this isn't the place for comments like this, but right now FedEx is...not performing. Their website won't even acknowledge they've either lost or lost track of my Yggdrasil. This is the fourth or fifth time FedEx has been over four days late this year.

    So if you do a loaner, don't use FedEx.

    @schiit Get your money back from FedEx!

    As for me, I guess we'll see. Looks like I'm getting in line for a all-new LiM rather than my upgrade-forever-known-as-in-transit. (sigh)

    Every package from FedEx I’ve gotten lately has been late and they haven’t even bothered ringing the doorbell for signature required packages.

    Maybe we’ll make this loaner UPS preferred but FedEx ok.

    So my 2020 Andros that was shipped by UPS that required an Adult Signature...was delivered to my apartment without anyone signing for it.

    It's still a mix bag.

    To be positive about this not-so-positive moment, the one thing I like about FedEx is their own branded stores or their other in-store locations such as drug stores where you can get your package and sign for it as you'd normally do at home. And then you can grab a beer. Or chips. Or both, to enhance your listening pleasure.

    Had two packages arrivw from UPS a day apart from each other, both requiring signature. One left rh package at my doorstep, the other one ranng the doorbell to get a signature.

    UPS also held the first package at the origin city for 3 days plus weekend for "sorting". Took 7 days for a package to get from Portland to Nashville and only 2.5 days in actual transit.

    Ok forget it. UPS or FEDEX.

    They’re both a mess. Use either one.

    Well, a nice lady called to explain that on the FedEx website, I'm seeing in transit in one location (in my metro area) because it's a trailer scan, not the actual package scan. In transit means, yup, the box is on the trailer still. Arrived is package being processed thru the hub. Sadly, the lady also says she spoke with someone at the hub who doesn't think my trailer is going to be unloaded until....next week (sigh). At least I won't be sitting around waiting, and now we know why you can see your gear stuck in a moment you can't get out of.

    In the meantime, I have a lovely Modius to enjoy. It's really quite excellent for the price!

    Nothing is worse than USPS.

    Haha even in India one of my package was coming via FedEx. It was delivered to local warehouse, barely few miles away from my house, well on time but they didn’t deliver it to home address for next few days. When I raised the concern with the seller then I got a call from FedEx to come and pick it up, if possible, from the warehouse as they don’t have any personnel available to deliver at my address
