The one here doesn't do overnight but I was surprised when I ordered 
something and it was delivered the next day. That's happened several 
times. The items weren't obscure but they weren't very common leading me 
to think they do have some inventory and aren't just unloading planes and 
delivering stuff.

UPS must feel it. At one time FedEx thought they were going to get a slice 
but that never did work out. The StarLink kit came via FedEx. The tracking 
app kept saying 'Dorothy is coming but we're not sure when'. I saw the 
truck stop a little up the road so I walked up and asked 'Are you 
Dorothy?' She was. She'd passed once, turned around, and passed again. 
I've no idea what her next move was going to be.
