Bought it at Walmart.com on 11/4, Walmart says shipped on 11/6, but first activity shown on FedEx website is on afternoon 11/7 (2:14pm "Picked up"), at a town ~3 hours away.

This morning at 4:28am, it shows "At local FedEx facility" essentially in my town; at 6:56am "On FedEx vehicle for delivery".

I'm pretty sure FedEx and pretty much every other logistics company does a lot of transport overnight to get packages to where they need to be for delivery. It's entirely possible that they could deliver it today.

There's a FedEx truck in front of my house right now.

Oh snap. Since when did major couriers (UPS, FedEx, USPS) deliver on Sunday without some exorbitant special service fees? Thought only Amazon did that through their own delivery network or contracting USPS.

FedEx started doing it in January.

The FedEx Ground facility I work at doesn't ship on Sundays, but I think I've gotten Express deliveries on Sundays before.

Right, thought Sunday deliveries were reserved for their special services. But I know Walmart just shipped it with cheap shipping because who cares about this cheap TV lol

usps does delivery on sunday now. though this was for my dog's allergy medicine.
i paid 20$ to ship it (bought 2 month's worth) if buying 1 it's not so useful to pay extra.

So it got delivered! But the FedEx driver literally dropped it:

I wouldn't worry about a little drop like that. Those things take a lot more abuse at the sorting facilities. That's why they're packed tight with styrofoam.

Yup. Just unpacked it and plugged it in to see if everything works before I start mounting it on the wall. It works fine.

Not everyone is comfortable drilling holes in their wall.

Fedex hires people just to kick packages in their warehouse.

I finished my own basement (studs, drywall, electrical, plumbing, vapor barrier, insulation, and doors), repaired my concrete driveway, and other various home tasks; mounting a tv is literally childs play.
