i wouldn't worry. short of some kind of accident or mishandling of your package, tracking estimates are pretty reliable.

Nah, FedEx employs some kind of time warp device to get packages there on time. Actually, they're really good about this kind of thing. I wouldn't worry about anything.

Ten hours by mail plane? What do you think Fed Ex uses, hot air baloons?

FedEx has very high compliance with on-time deliveries, particularly with their express services.

Yes they do but you do wind up paying for it. I just sold my S to a guy in Nebraska; I live in PA. Once I got the check, I sent him the title, bill of sale, keys via Fed Ex Overnight with guaranteed delivery by noon. It cost me $28.xx. I mailed it out around 2-3pm thursday and he had it at 10:30am on friday. Very good service

And from the time of your post (9:52 AM), they beat their time estimated. That's good work.
