Disclaimer: despite the charged words in the title, this post is not that serious at all, nor am I genuinely upset at VEX. I actually don’t really care that much about this, it’s just something pretty funny I noticed.
Not sure if another post has been made on this yet, but whenever I place an order on vexrobotics.com, and I am given the ability to track my order once it ships, the delivery date on the VEX website has always contradicted the estimated delivery date given by FedEx. In fact, this can be reproduced on every order because what each delivery date on VEX has in common is it is always the FedEx estimated delivery date minus one day. So, if I have an order arriving on September 15 according to VEX, I can confidently say that my order will actually arrive on the 16th assuming FedEx has no hiccups along the way. There was even one instance where FedEx suddenly changed the delivery time to the end of the day, and VEX changed theirs accordingly too after, except it was changed to the day before that (“yesterday” at the time of that scenario), which is when I knew that something wasn’t quite right with VEX’s interpretation of FedEx’s delivery date. Has anyone else experienced this with their VEX orders?
