It’s not here

I ordered a SilenX 40mm case fan from FrozenCPU.com last week in order to replace the fan in my firewall. The current 40mm fan is very loud. Of course, the device was designed for use in server rooms so quiet operation was not a factor in it’s design.

The fan was shipped via Fed Ex Ground. I checked the Fed Ex site once I got a tracking number and it showed an estimated delivery date of 1/20/2007 (Saturday). That was on Tuesday. I checked it again on Friday afternoon around 3:30 p.m. and it showed that the package was delivered at 2:30 p.m. I was already home and must have not noticed it sitting by the front door.

I check around the front door and find nothing! I went and checked back around the garage door, because they sometimes leave packages there, and didn’t find it there either. Where’s my fan?

I called Fed Ex and they said they would have to put a driver trace on the package. Unfortunately, it will take 24-48 business hours to get a response. My only thought is that the driver delivered it to a street that is similar in name, it’s a Blvd. and my street ends with Court, by mistake. That, or I have some greedy neighbors.
