So it looks like my packages are safe with neither OOPS nor FedExplode.

From the title of this thread I thought it was going to be about bedliner

I want to point out that this is the third major plane crash in 6 weeks (Denver skid, Hudson River, this). I also want to point out that's it's 3-for-3 with no fatalities. That's damn good no matter how you look at it!

Unless you live in Lubbock, TX (or vicinity) and are expecting a FedEx package, I think you've got nothing to worry about. Lubbock is not really what you'd call a "hub", so I'm pretty sure the plane only had stuff for Lubbock on it.

I recently read something that said despite what most people think, statistically speaking airplane crashes are survivable. I realize that something like 53% of all statistics are made up on the spot, but this article said there's like a 90+% survival rate for things classed as "bad airplane crashes." I believe it was on cnn.com or time.com for those who have the time to search for it.

Gameboy, if you are shipping to Barbados via FedEx, you deserve to be dissappointed. For that, they SUCK!!
