This same thing happened to me, and I called FedEX and they also told me the same thing you mentioned about the ECONOMY. HOWEVER, Microsoft then told me that there is some confusion with FedEx as those "ECONOMY" packages were supposedly shipped a week ago with the same DELAY to be delivered on Monday. So, evidently someone screwed up somewhere, but it may not have been Microsofts fault. One nice thing about FedEx though. They are far superior to UPS. FedEx will track a package and tell you where it is and whether it will be delivered in the morning or in the afternoon. They sometimes will even come back if you missed a package and call them up and ask them to try to drop it off again. UPS doesn't help at all when you are wondering why your package was not received.
