I Want My, I Want My, I Want My Hitachi
My leaf blower is in Woot Fedex Limbo right now. It pulled out of Hutchins, TX, around 8pm last night. Estimated time for delivery: October 11.
Incidentally, we spent the night in an excellent La Quinta Inn in Hutchins just last weekend. I calculate that, had I intercepted the delivery truck at the warehouse, I could pick up my leaf blower and walk about 13.5 hours per day, leaving 2.5 hours for meals and resting and a solid 8 hours of sleep per night, I could make that time at a nice 3 mph average jaunt.
I assume Fedex is sandbagging on this one, but every now and then they really do take that kind of time. At some point you have to figure (given it actually left Hutchins) the cost of warehousing a larger item would overwhelm any benefit of sitting on it.
