For anyone who ordered yesterday, has your shipping status updated?

Normally when I order, I get an email with the tracking info like within an hour and then later in the evening I get a text from Fed Ex once they have it and then texts for subsequent updates. However for the order I placed yesterday morning, I got the email with the tracking, but it hasn't updated yet and still says Fed Ex hasn't received it. So I don't know if it didn't go out yet or if it did but Fed Ex isn't scanning it. I thought there might be a chance of a delay because of increased orders on Friday and Monday, but when I ordered it still said it would ship same day so I didn't think it would be an issue.
What they were answering

Stop making me want to move to Arizona, I can't deal with the heat. Seriously though that is the best way to run a business. They weren't even focused on building the business with profits, so much so as buying new houses and cars. They actually sold half of the company in the last year so that they could buy more bullshit for themselves, kind of funny to see how all of their close relationships died off.
If you ever do stock options I will 100% be investing my money, I can't even afford to buy any nootropics right now but I would scrape together money for that.

That seems to be a common theme with most business owners. I was in corporate consulting before I started this company, and worked on everything from small mom and pop shops all the way up to companies in the top 50 of the Fortune 500. I worked with some clients that would penny pinch $10, and then I worked with some that considered any deal under $100M to be small. The biggest lesson I learned from it all was that the people dealing with $100M deals are no more capable than those penny pinching $10 in mom and pop shops. They were all mostly incompetent. In fact, the people at the larger companies were usually more so, as they had the money to hide their shortcomings. The common theme I saw at pretty much every level was that the owners of the companies generally didn't give a shit about the actual products/services the company was providing. They cared about sales and profits increasing over time. That's about it. They also, almost universally, had no idea what was really going on in their companies. They had no idea what made the company successful or not. It was very surprising to me, as I think most assume that the people at the tops of these companies are very capable and smart people. That's how they got there, right? Nah... Most got lucky, and almost all were there just because they decided to do something and stuck with it. Perseverance was the most common factor apart from luck, not intelligence, capability, or passion. There were obviously exceptions to this, but they were few and far between. My time in consulting really opened my eyes to how the world really is. The people at the top have no idea what they are doing, either. LOL
