Title: Thrilling stuff - like a movie!
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on June 29, 2021, 11:41:18 PM: Watching the tracking for my new Nolan helmet on it's way to Ohio from The Netherlands (he hopes)

It started at a FedEx in EINDHOVEN ("A Bridge Too Far")

recently made a stop at CHARLES DE GAULLE airport ("Day Of The Jackal")

What was the shipping charge?
Price for helmet was $50 less in The Netherlands.
Shipping was free. Helmet came as quickly as if I'd ordered it from Revzilla.
What's the catch?
If it doesn't fit, I must pay return shipping.
Revzilla has free returns.

Memphis is a national hub for FedEx right? Or is it UPS? Either way that makes sense they probably have cargo planes from all over the world coming in there daily.

Memphis is the main hub for FedEx. If you ship something across town there is a good chance it will go to Memphis and then come back to the same town. The FedEx facility at the Memphis Airport is like a small City. Every evening hundreds of Airplanes and even more trucks come to Memphis. A few hours later they all head out for destinations all over the world.

If the Memphis Airport has bad weather late in the evening when all the planes are scheduled to arrive it can disrupt FedEx shipping all over the world
