Apparently about to drop to 23: A message flashed up on my iPhone screen that FedEx has picked up a parcel that will require adult signature. Then vanishes, and I mean really vanishes -- no sign of it on the iPhone no matter how I try to check past notifications, etc. But that isn't unusual with iPhone. So, all good, but... nobody told me they were about to ship, we are entering the warm weather period when that isn't always advisable, and I'm away for 8 days starting May 26. So, I go online. FedEx site itself shows... nothing. Somehow it did notify me, yet didn't link the record to my app. Next option: I start visiting my pending list and checking those retailers one by one. Almost instantly I discover that two of them are missing their "your purchases" records for wines I know I purchased (I checked on visa and yup, I was charged). So now this mystery "Flash notification" is getting me obsessed. Finally, maybe 2 hours after the mystery notification, I pinned it down: 3 bottles of Cerbaiona 2017 BdM are apparently en route. But I still don't have a FedEx tracker number.
