Ordered from Amazon Prime last night about 9 PM - arrived at 3 today - amazing!
OTOH when we met our daughter in Florida in December she flew Toronto - Minneapolis - Orlando - so apparently not just packages.

Back in the day when we were doing radar evaluations in Germany, we decided to ship our (rather large in those days) computers back to our unit in Utah (UT). Well, after a few weeks they still had not arrived so we tried to track them down and found they were in some holding facility - in Vermont (VT). We eventually got them back but it took a long time.
Unless I miss my guess, The number on the original post looks like a smart-post number. Fedex ground picks up the package are delivers it to the postal dist. center for the usps for final delivery. A real fedex package would track much better. USPS... not so much. USPS shipping estimates are longer than normal. Do not be shocked if your package arrives sooner.

I remember when you'd get an ebay email saying "Your item has shpped!" - but it hadn't even left the seller's possession. Seller clicks "shipped" on the item page, whether it was shipped or not. Now I've noticed the ebay email says something like "Your item is about to be shipped".
If sellers all had long-distance package carrying drones, the problem would disappear. Of course, then most commercial airlines would disappear too.

Those old computers had to be airlifted via C5 didn't they?

The computer I worked on when I was first in the Air Force (NORAD SAGE) was housed in a building called the "Blockhouse" and was more than big enough to live in.
