You’d think they could find the delivery person rather easily.

My mom and sisters live near. I think they said they were missing a package. I guess we now know where it could be.

With a scan of a barcode they are going to know EXACTLY who dumped them.

Kudos to those folks who came out on Thanksgiving to work. I’ve done that before, it’s not fun.

River Oak Trail is off Armstrong Loop, which is the road that the transfer facility is on.

My wife and I have the tick bite red meat allergy, so we order ostrich meat, which is surprisingly similar to beef steak, from a company which ships out of Ashland, TN, just north of Nashville and from near Greensboro. We had a shipment go missing with UPS and the company was great about replacing it. I asked if we would be better shipping with FedEx. The owner of the farms said "Good Lord, no." He said that they had had endless problems with FedEx for the last year or so. As close as we were, he said that UPS ground was the best, just as fast as UPS air 2nd day...

I have always been curious to try ostrich meat. I have heard it is quite good. I do want to try it, but the place I order wild game from only sells ostrich in bulk and it is ridiculously expensive. You can get an ostrich egg at Buckhead butcher here in Atlanta. It is like a dozen eggs and you need a hammer to crack it.

So they’ve recovered the packages, fired the driver, and now James Spann shared a post from the Jemison police department that they are recovering FedEx packages from a ravine. For reference, Hayden is 20 miles straight north of Birmingham on I-65, and Jemison is straight south 30 or so miles I believe on I-65.
