** FEDEX ANNOUNCEMENT re: G-20 SUMMIT **

I received a package today and with the online tracking sysytem, FedEx has announced the following:



IMPORTANT!
Heightened security measures during the G-20 Summit may cause service delays.

Printer-Friendly Service Update During the G-20 Summit

Heightened security measures for the annual G-20 Summit Sept. 24-25, 2009, where leaders from the world’s 20 largest economies are meeting in Pittsburgh, Pa., will include extensive road closures and restricted access to many locations in the downtown and surrounding areas. FedEx is planning to operate on this day; however, due to enhanced local security measures and mandates set forth by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, customers should expect unavoidable service delays within the area.

FedEx is committed to providing service to the best of our ability, and we regret any inconvenience during this period of high security. For specific shipment-status information, please track the status of your shipment at fedex.com. You can also contact FedEx Customer Service at 1.800.GoFedEx 1.800.463.3339.

Consistent with the provisions of the FedEx Service Guide, the money-back guarantee will not apply for FedEx Express® and FedEx Freight® service to affected areas with a delivery commitment of Sept. 23-25, 2009, and for FedEx Ground® and FedEx Home Delivery® with a delivery commitment of Sept. 23-26, 2009.
