    So ive been of course tracking my m15x which was sent out for pick up on friday and arrived at Orlando. Then it said it departed Orlando, FL on Saturday morning and since then it hasn't updated. As of today it still says i departed Orlando, FL. Is that normal? Has anyone else had this problem?
    thanks.

    you package could still be travelling but it is probably at a station that doesnt have tracking. once it goes to another stop that has tracking, your tracking will be updated.

    Fedex doesn't have very many places that have tracking. Your package is still being moved, but it's not being updated. Don't lose hope, it should be in your hands soon.

    Ouch! Well, maybe you can call your local Fedex and see if there's any sign of it arriving. And since it was picked up on Friday, I think you should be expecting it by tomorrow at the latest. Shipping is 3-5 Days, right?

    The Fedex Tracking is usually deadly accurate. If the estimated shipping date is July 1st for example, one way or another it will arrive at your place of residence on July 1st. Even if it said it just departed Florida and you live in California, believe in the estimated shipping date!

    My laptop actually arrived 2 days early to the facility but arrived after they sent out the delivery trucks. So it got to sit there till the next morning. I would have gone to pick it up myself but they probably wouldn't let me and the package wasn't in my name. It was deliverered to the VA hospital. Yes, the VA got a lappy for me to use at Univsersity(sometimes being a disabled vet has it's perks). No matter the laptop was delivered 1 day early.

    sometimes fedex will deliever your package early. but this is once in a blue moon. i had a delievery date for wednesday once. the package arrived on monday to the stop that the package will be loaded on to a truck and delievered to me. unfortunately fed ex said package not due for delievery so they didnt deliever until tuesday. so sometimes you might get lucky and get it earlier than the estimated date. i have yet to see fed ex miss their estimated date unless there was a hurricane or blizzard in your area.

    Standard shipping is FedEx ground, so it won't update again until it gets to it's destination (ie, the truck left Orlando on whatever date is shown and your package won't update until it reaches it's sort destination location). If your estimated delivery date is tomorrow, it'll probably arrive at the sort destination tonight, transfer to the local distribution center sometime early tomorrow morning, and head out for delivery with FedEx's regular delivery vans later tomorrow morning.
