I've gotten used to things just getting here when they do...

Especially with FedEx... can't tell you how many times the tracking info will say "in transit" with a planned delivery date of 2-3 days out, and then when I leave the house the morning after I checked the tracking, I trip over the "in transit" box sitting by the front door.
