Email from FedEx on 6/15 at 07:50:
======
Your package from FULFILLMENT_LAX#3013 is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.
=========
NO email today telling me it was delivered. Checked and no package on porch or by garage door.
Checked FedEx tracking page.
===============
"We'll add a delivery date as soon as your package starts moving." (Yeah, sure.)
ON THE WAY BLOOMINGTON, CA 6/13/24 1:36 AM
=============
From "Travel History"
Thursday, 6/13/24 1:35 AM Left FedEx origin facility BLOOMINGTON, CA
===============
Nothing else. Are they incompetent? Is their computer too optimistic in sending out email?
The package is 21lb so I'll guess it's the RV/parking heater I ordered while Banggood had it for $56. Good price if it survives being dragged behind the FedEx truck on a short rope - seems their tracking is promising no better than that...

What a story it could tell if it could talk.

Monday's email says delivery Tuesday - at least the package is now in the state so maybe this week?

If it goes to Portland you will never see it again.

I wanted spare parts for the diesel RV/parking heater I bought a couple of years ago. Buying this one for $57 (including tax) gives me 100% spare parts in a single order. Don't think there's a cheaper way to get all the spares: controller, remote, combustion chamber, fan, fuel pump, glow plug (those are $20 and up), fuel tank and this is an all-in-one unit in a metal case. I have the option of using whichever heater best fits my needs at some point in time and having a full set of spares for it. They're still running an ad for the unit: three versions with different controllers. Today's prices are $61, $65 and $71 with free shipping. From their US warehouse and about a week for shipping: www.banggood.com/HCalory-5-8KW-12V-Car-Parking-Heater-Diesels-Air-All-in-1-LCD-Thermostat-for-Car-Truck-SUV-Bus-RV-Boats-p-1808995.htmlA heater and fuel for one or maybe two rooms for two days (5 gallons of diesel) for under $100. And diesel is safer to store than gasoline. Check the ads from Banggood and AliExpress and you might still find the heater for under $60.
