Fedex weird tracking messages

Having blogged for a while lately, was busy at work and my intended move to a new apartment. The topic of this post is about Fedex tracking system. I managed to get a good deal for an external HDD from compUSA, they regularly have some manufacturer rebate and discounts that make an item very cheap for its spec. Anyway, the first round I forgot to put in my apartment number on the address so it got bounced back to the near by Fedex facility (another city). Now after I told them the apa# yesterday, they were suppose to deliver it today and the status on the tracking system indicated: Delivered - signature not requested. But I didn't get any notice from my apartment's management so it is starting to get scary. I called my apa's management and they told me that this message could have meant that the parcel is with the driver (or city's local storage) but might be delivered to us yet.
I am not sure what Fedex is doing but I think this status message is plain misleading and creates a lot of concerns about your package going missing. If I find that a package is missing I don't wait a few days to see what happens, I ACT NOW, straightaway as the earlier you act the more chance you have of finding out what happened (the trial is still warm!).

I really hoped that the parcel will come by tomorrow, it will ease my concern and also ease my storage problem............coincidentally my other external HDD (2.5in) case's USB connector fell apart, guess you get what you pay for (cheap case)!

I'm having the same issue. I sent a package to my wife's sister. I shows delivered... but she never got it. And she was home at the time it was "delivered".

The FedEx site says "signature not requested". What the heck.

Also, it was "out for delivery" at 4:02 AM and "delivered" at 3:04 PM. I keep wondering if this is the *actual* delivery time, or a "sweep" byt their computer to mark all packages from that day delivered if they haven't been marked that yet... making the "delivered" text pointless.
