It's just weird, that's all there is to it. I ordered some silver this morning (down to $16/troy ounce, so jump on it before it goes back up!). Shipping is tons of options, but to FedEx it to my office where it will be mis-delivered was $1.50 more than USPS to my house in the 'burbs. And it will arrive at home more quickly. Makes no sense.
The most recent shipment was 3 wks ago. I decided to go with the "residential" FedEx. I followed the tracking while it circled the US a couple of times, and then saw that it had been delivered and signed for by a "P. Mathewson." Who??? Took FedEx 3 days to find my package, which had been delivered to a bingo hall and signed for by a security guard there. I'm ALWAYS having trouble with them, and avoid them whenever possible. On the other hand, our UPS man is a gem, always delivers on time, even comes after hours if something needs a signature and he knows we are at work.
It also helps that his mom is one of my closest friends!
