I was supposed to get some spiders delivered by FedEx yesterday. They did not arrive. I was charged for overnight delivery, but no delivery, and no notification of a delay from FedEx.
I’m hoping they show up this morning, and I’m not too worried about the health of the spiders. If it were January, I’d assume they were frozen and dead, but the weather has been mild. They’ll just be cranky and hungry.
Worst case, the FedEx delivery guys kicked it around and there’s a warehouse somewhere that has some new residents. Second worst case, there was a misdelivery and some neighbors received an epic surprise. No, really, if you accidentally get a package with my name on it, you should definitely call me before trying to open it.
You can get spiders home delivered? 8-O
So far, no.
Yikes.
If there’s anything that should properly be delivered as soon as possible and merits the ‘urgent’ category, live live specimens definitely fit the bill.
Perishable goods.
You must have a tracking number?
Porch pirates?
Venomous spiders- a natural pest control for porch pirates.

A weird package ordered by crazy scientist gets delivered to the wrong address – this is the outline of a film! Finance it by internet donations. Try to get Nicholas Cage to play the protagonist.
Surely the best way to get spiders delivered is via the web?

The parcel came from INSIDE THE HOUSE!
FedEx tracking says my spiders are in Minneapolis. Maybe they’ll get here this afternoon.
The spiders seemingly took a detour to party in the big city before starting their work stint in your lab.
“Maybe they’ll get here this afternoon.”
Unlikely, the pkg will first have to go through the Consolidation and Coordination Hub in Louisiana.
or, on the other hand (not good, not bad, just other)
it may have been seized, suspected of containing 50,000 illegal immigrants to vote for Biden.
@14: Spurious. If it made it as far as Minneapolis, it is not going back to another FedEx hub.
Tracking: It is now in Willmar, MN.
They’d better be voting for Biden. Otherwise they’re getting sent straight back to Florida.
Are they Messican spiders or god-fearing Merican ones?
