They have a large warehouse near Plainfield, Indiana.
Even McMaster-Carr is two to three days and their shipping cost has tripled. It used to be delivered the next day.

This shipment came out of Ohio. Most of the time it's out of Pennsylvania.

I figured it wasn’t far from me, does Chewy have its own drivers? I did see someone pull up and deliver in a regular vehicle before.

No idea, I've just seen their hiring billboards. I've had both FedEx Ground and UPS delivery via a regular, unmarked car before - although typically just around the holidays...

Any bot can only be as smart as the clown that wrote its software.
That is why they seem so thick on message boards. They are practicing and trying to impersonate
16 active brain cells, although the ones here quite obviously have not attained that end.
While the bots can't/won't be offended by reading that, hopefully the clowns responsible can and will be.

Some of the humans on this forum have the same issue.

Ironically I had another issue with a FedEx package just 2 weeks ago. Grove City, Ohio again tracking says it left there but no further updates and the package never showed up. The company submitted for a lost package and sent another one but ended up taking 2 weeks to get a package that was 5 hours from my house. I have lost all faith in FedEx and will try my beat to avoid buying from any company that uses them unless I'm ok waiting for a month for my item.
I live about 2 miles from the FedEx hub in Grove City, Ohio. I have ordered items and watch them show up at the Grove City hub only to be shipped to Tennessee before coming back to Grove City before delivery. I had one item that came out of Wisconsin ended up in Grove City shipped to Tennessee, then to Chicago then back to Grove City. I found someone that has a daughter that works there (they employee a lot of college students) and she told me that most of the employees do not know the zip codes so when they are sorting packages if they don't know the zip cod they will just throw it on a conveyor line and it gets shipped around until someone knows the proper place to send it. It is very frustrating.
Since COVID we have all seen fuel soar, did the people in the delivery cycle get 100% pay increases? or are the executive home offices become Island villas? All my shipping costs have at minimum doubled. Yes, I just pass it on to my customers. Next I'll tell you about Sherwin Williams Polane paint costs.
