Maybe the factory generates the label? 17428

China is 15 hours ahead of you.

Got a response from PM. The invoice is correct and shows what actually shipped. That's good news.
The shipping company has an estimated delivery date of the 16th. That's about what I was guessing when it would be here.

Now I've got to get my butt in gear and make room for it. According to FedEx the bench should be here tomorrow but their tracking is still saying "Shipment information sent to FedEx" and has been saying that since the 8th. My guess is that it will arrive on the 16th also.  Bash

EDIT: FedEx is now saying it will be delivered by the end of the day Sunday.

I get those often from FedEx here. I just wish they would learn how to spell MONDAY correctly because that is when I'll actually get it. The post office here has issues with confusing Friday with the following Monday as well. Rolleyes

According to the invoice it's xpo-logistics. All it says when I track the number is "Label generated on 3/10/2022" and it's not even 3/10/2022 yet.  17428
The east cost is only 2 hours ahead of Arizona, not a day ahead.

To avoid timezone confusion, many shippers use UTC which is 5 hours ahead of the east coast right now, Sunday morning that'll change to 4 hours.

Avoid confusion? Like using UTC, UCT, Zulu, and GMT interchangeably? smiley_laughing

And isn't Arizona exempt from DST? Chin

Yes.

Now FedEx is saying Monday for delivery of the bench. I'm betting on Tuesday. Chin

GMT is the actual timezone. Greenwich Mean Time. Z, as in Zulu, is the abbreviation (don't ask me how they came up with that one). UCT stands for Universal Coordinated Time as WWV puts it. All I can come up with for UTC is it was prolly someone whose dyslexia got in the way of UCT. Personally I think they need 5 or 6 more acronyms for it but for DST they only need one: BS! Big Grin
