Your Questions About Fedex

Richard asks…

Standard delivery rate from Fedex?

I ordered something a week ago and the apparently shipped it on the 17th. I live in the UK and the parcel is shipped within UK. Its about 6kg. Does it usually take that long for Fedex to ship it?

Michelle answers:

Fedex is actually connected with ANC.
Http://www.fedex.com/gb/

Their fees don’t appear to be clearly on the website, it may be worth having a browse around, and login may be required.

If you have a tracking number, then you can find out exactly where the parcel is, the sender will definately have this information available for you.

Paul asks…

What are our rights against FedEx?

Hi

I recently tried to encash my points from thankyounetwork and ordered a scanner. Thankyou network claims they shipped it using FedEx and FedEx claims they have delivered it. They even have a signature of a person who i dont even know. They claim to have delivered it to this person at my apartment. But i dont even know any body witht this name. I think Fedex made some mistae and now trying to hide it by showing me junk signatures of unknown people.

Please let me know my options in this case.

Thanks
Sumit

Michelle answers:

Have you checked with your apartment office? FedEx usually doesn’t leave signature-required shipments at the office, but it can’t hurt to rule it out.

According to the FedEx website, the claims process goes like this:
* Complete and submit a claim form online at https://www.fedex.com/us/claimsonline or call 1-800-463-3339 to obtain a control number for your claim, then complete a printed copy of the claim form.
* Make photocopies of the FedEx® Airbill/FedEx Ship Manager printout and/or FedEx Ground Pick-up Record and all documentation related to the proof of value.
* Fax or mail your supporting documentation and completed claim form to:
FedEx
Cargo Claims Dept.
P.O. Box 256
Pittsburgh, PA 15230
Fax 1.877.229.4766
(If you fax your claim, you will receive a confirmation letter by return fax.)

After you have gone through the claims process, if things are still unresolved, you can take further action by filing a complaint against FedEx with your state attorney general’s office.

Steven asks…

FedEx Smartpost delivery time?

I ordered some things online today (Friday) and they ship via FedEx Smartpost. Go long does this service usually take (California to Iowa) thanks

Michelle answers:

Fedex smartpost starts off shipping through fedex, however the package will be transferred to the us postal service at some point, and your regular mail carrier will make the final delivery. It can be 2-3 days for your order to process before it even ships. It then might be 7 days before you get the package. Fedex smartpost is not a fast shipper. If they give you a tracking number you can track the progress and get a better estimate of the anticipated delivery date.

Susan asks…

How late does Fedex Smartpost deliver?

My package has been “out for delivery” since 10:41am. It’s 2:22pm now
I ordered 2 novels and 1 manga (Japanese comic book) 1 novel is over a thousand pages, the other is about 350 pages. The manga is about 200 pages. Everything is supposed to be coming in one package. Im assuming it will be delivered to my house rather than the mail box… plus i already checked that… twice.
Earlier i saw USPS and Fedex Ground trucks driving around my neighborhood. I expected to have my package delivered then, but it wasn’t.
Maybe im just being too impatient…

Michelle answers:

Fedex smartpost is not delivered by a Fedex truck. Fedex passes the package off to your local post office. If your mail has already been delivered today and you did not get the package, it is not coming today.

Your Questions About Fafsa

Betty asks…

Apply for Fafsa!!!?

hi guys this is my question
Im going to college in the next semester and i going apply for fafsa
My parents both make 49K, they bought a house so its a loan of 190 000$(Debt)
would i apply for fafsa with this ?

Michelle answers:

Yes- apply for FAFSA even if you think their income is too high. Families with higher income than that get financial aid. Even if it turns out that you do not qualify for a Pell grant, you will qualify for federal loans (which are at lower interest rates than anywhere else).

But aside from that, each state has its own financial aid and the income limits might be higher than the federal ones. They require the FAFSA. The school you choose will also have institutional financial aid available that needs the FAFSA completed, too.

If any circumstances (provable loss of income) arise between the time you fill out the FAFSA and the following year’s FAFSA, you can get adjustments made by a financial aid administrator. The bottom line is, you never know what’s going to happen in the future so look at filing the FAFSA as a kind of insurance, just in case bad things happen.

David asks…

help! is fafsa.com a scam?

so I am kinda freaking out right now. I had a question regarding my fafsa application and I called what I thought was the fafsa hotline number. then I realized, after I had given them my social security number over the phone, that it wasnt even the real fafsa website. I dont know that much about this website. are they gonna steal my identity? I am freaking out. thanks for your help!

Michelle answers:

Fafsa.com is not the actual government operated FAFSA. However, they are legitimate and not out to steal your identity. They are not a scam because they are providing the service that they advertise. However, you can complete the FAFSA for free at www.fafsa.ed.gov and because they charge for basically “helping” you complete the FAFSA some people think of them as a scam. Their site is secure though and they won’t use or sell your SSN.

Jenny asks…

FAFSA information please????

HELLO I WANT TO KNOW WHAT TIME IS THE LATEST YOU REALLY NEED TO TURN IN YOUR FAFSA APPLICATION IS IT REALLY THE DATE THAT IS MENTIONED IS THERE NO OTHER DATE AT ALL??

Michelle answers:

The FAFSA has many deadlines. You should first find out from the financial aid office from the colleges that you are applying to what their FAFSA deadline is; the date that you need to have completed the FAFSA by and had the information sent to the school. Also, many state grant programs have a deadlines for the FAFSA, too.

The Federal deadline on the FAFSA application of June 30, 2008 is the last date that the federal government will process your 2007-2008 FAFSA. The state deadlines listed are the deadlines that the individual states need the FAFSA information by for those students applying for state aid. College FAFSA deadlines are the dates that the schools need the FAFSA information by for the students who are applying for financial aid at their school.

Lizzie asks…

FAFSA info, any guesstimates?

I have a friend who is planning to apply for FAFSA. It’s pretty much his only chance at paying for college. If his parents, combined, make under $30,000 per year, don’t you think he’ll qualify for quite a bit of aid? Anyone with similar situations willing to share how much FAFSA helped them? Thanks!

Michelle answers:

FAFSA could work. I was always warded FAFSA when I applied, but it takes a pretty good while fr the money to be sent to the university. Like if you dont get your FAFSA form turned in on time, and it takes FAFSA a while to process the paper work, and the university has not recieved a payment from your friend then they will purge him from the roll..( purge is a nice way of saying get your ass out of the classroom until you pay).. But if both parents make combines total of 30,000 then your friend DEFINATLY needs to apply for pell grant.. It is free money, that does not need to be paid back and it is for those with lower incomes.. Your friend can actually apply for both of these…
There is also TAG money.. What this is is money set aside by the state that they GIVE to students .. But the catch is that not veryone gets the TAG money.. Its like a first come first serve, and when we run out better luck next year kinda thing.. This is also free money your friend will not have to pay back… TAG money goes by the state.. For example I live in Mississipp so our TAG money is calle M-TAG.. And I went to school in Texas and applied for T-TAG… So if you want to searc what your state tag funding is called google “name of your state” tag money..

Everything i suggested here are not loans, they are simply good ways for those less fortunate to pursue their education without the hassel of student loans…

BUT if all else fails and your friend oesnt get any of these then your friend should apply for the SALLE MAE loan.. If your gonna geta student loan this ( in my opinion ) in my opinion is the best one.. It was listed in Fortune 500 of the best loan program tat helps students with all types of cases…

GOOD LUCK..

Your Questions About Fedex

Paul asks…

FedEx delivery from ATT arrival date help?

So yesterday ( Wednesday ) I orded an iPhone from AT&T online. I picked the two day FedEx express delievery. When will my iPhone arrive. Will it arrive on Friday, Saturday, or Monday? Wednesday night it said it was processed but hasnt been shipped yet.

Michelle answers:

Fedex 2 Day deliveries don’t get delivered on Saturdays, so definitely not then.

I would aim for Monday delivery, since it may’ve been processed after Fedex picked up from AT&T on Wednesday, meaning they’ll pick it up today, meaning Monday delivery.

But if AT&T provides you a Fedex tracking number, use Fedex’s website and keep up on tracking it.

Robert asks…

Fedex shipping route?? Take so Long?

Ok heres the deal i ordered a “K6 Mirror” from ebay and im tracking it from fedex and its going someplace called “fedex smartpost” in “NEW BERLIN, WI” but the destination is at “CHICAGO” which it passed and and contiuned to go to the “fedex smartpost”

Heres a photo of the tracking page:

http://i54.tinypic.com/fw6jgi.jpg

Michelle answers:

Fedex Smartpost is the cheapest/slowest service Fedex offers. Fedex picks up your package and then trucks it to the central post office distribution area to you and gives it to the post office who then makes the final delivery. If it past you by it could be planned, what’s the estimated delivery date? It’s also possible it got on the wrong truck going somewhere else. Keep trackin’ it.

Carol asks…

FedEx shipping way too expensive?

I wonder if the guy is trying to rip me off or is the shipping actually that expensive.
I bought a laptop from USA which weighs 10lbs and he is shipping to Europe, Estonia.
He ships with FedEx International Economy and the shipping fee is $135.

Thanks in advance.

Michelle answers:

FedEx is expensive, so $135 would be correct! You have to realize that shipping costs are based on both weight and the size and shape of the package. I have had stuff shipped from US and UK to Australia and have paid close to $200 at times. FedEx is fast and safe. Have you considered any customs duties you might have to pay to import your computer? Don’t worry, if there are any taxes, FedEx will phone you and tell you how much and you can pay them by credit card and they’ll do the paperwork and then deliver your computer to you.

Laura asks…

send chocolate via fedex?

i’m planning on sending my classmate from philippines chocolates. does fedex allow sending chocolates from US to Philippines? and if it does, how much would it cost me?

Michelle answers:

Fedex too expensive. Send it via USPS (post office) via first class mail international (up to 4 lbs). You will have to fill out customs form cn-22. Dont worry its really simple

Your Questions About Fafsa

George asks…

Question about FAFSA?

My mom was recently unemployed about a month ago. It’s hard to find a job nowadays so just in case she can’t find a job by the time I file for FAFSA for the next school year – I was wondering if that would affect my ability to receive aid from my school? I’m 22 and I currently have a job – but I am still considered a dependent under her.

Michelle answers:

The FAFSA asks for last years earnings so that is what is put on the FAFSA, however, once you complete it and choose a college award, call them and the FA office and tell them how she lost her job and they may consider that information and you would then qualify for more financial aid. You should do the FAFSA now to maximize your award. Http://bellarminearc.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/file-your-fafsa-early-this-year-and-heres-why/

Linda asks…

help???? on fafsa…independent or dependent?

ok so im really confused with this whole fafsa thing

on my income taxes i was told i had to claim myself as independent due to my age (im 19)

my cousin helped me with my fafsa application and put that i was dependent( she said you can be dependent until you 23 or 24)

that makes no sense cause on my income tax it says independent and on fafsa it was dependnt can i change this??? did i do the fafsa wrong was i supposed to put independent???
for the record i claimed myself as independent on my 2009 income taxes

i still live at home im 19 and my parent pay for everything

i just pay car insurance(i do not own a car i pay insurance for using moms car) and my phone bill sometimes but its under moms name

Michelle answers:

FAFSA and the IRS have different definitions of the world “independent.” On your tax return, you are independent so long as you have your own income, are over 18 (or legally emancipated), and support yourself financially. On the FAFSA, you are only independent if you are:
1.) 24 or older
2.) Enrolled in GRADUATE school
3.) Married
4.) A Parent or Guardian
5.) Homeless
6.) On Active Duty or A Veteran of the U.S. Armed Forced
7.) Were a Foster Child (after the age of 13)
8.) The Child of TWO Deceased Parents
9.) Legally Emancipated by a Judge

So, unless you have kids, get married, join the army, turn 24, enter graduate school, or (god forbid) lose both your parents, you HAVE to state that you are a dependent on the FAFSA.

Charles asks…

FAFSA!!!!!!!!!??????????????

I filled out fafsa application online and received and email three days later about my fafsa been processed. I’m from Texas but want to study at LASC or LACC, what should I do next? I’m new to fafsa so if you have more information about fafsa and out of state tuition I would appreciate it.

Michelle answers:

On the FAFSA you should have listed the federal school codes for LASC and LACC. The financial aid office from these schools will be notifying you of any additional requirements that they need and/or when you have been awarded a financial aid award package.

If you did not list the federal school codes for those schools on your FAFSA, you will need to go back on to your FAFSA to make a correction to add them. Then resubmit your FAFSA.

Lizzie asks…

will i qualify for fafsa?

both my parents do not have a job… my dad is laid off and my mom is also. we stay with my grandparents nd the only one that works is my sister who pays for the rent and all that. will i qualify for fafsa???

Michelle answers:

Fafsa is an application for student aid. You need to complete one to see what your expected family contribution (efc) is. It’s based on 2008 income among other things. But i’m guessing you will qualify for a Pell Grant…but there are other things you may qualify for such as loans and grants and scholarships through your school but you need to get the ball rolling with the fafsa.

Here are some links.

Your Questions About Forever 21

Mary asks…

What size Forever 21 jeans am I?

My waist is 29 inches.
My hips are 33 inches.
My inseams are 31 inches.
My height is 5’5 and a half.

I looked at the Forever 21 size chart but I don’t really understand it.

Michelle answers:

Well jean sizes in Forever 21 are like this:

Because the store is called Forever 21, (emphasis on the 21), they use the number 21 to go with the jean size. So if the jean size is 24, then the actual jean size is a 3 because 24 – 21 = 3. Get it?

Just subtract 21 from the jean size and that’s the actual jean size.

Their jeans are true to size. I’m a size 3 in regular stores and I get a size 24 whenever I’m at Forever 21.

Can be confusing at first, but you’ll get it!(:

Donna asks…

So…sleep wear from Aerie or Forever 21? [girls only]?

So I want to get some new underthings. I know forever 21 has 5/10.00 and 3/9.50 (these ones look better…etc). Aerie has 7/$26….they are very pretty. Which is a better deal? I have not purchased from either, and I am ordering online as I can’t go to the stores. Which is better? Which panties are better quality…look prettier, etc.

I want them to be really pretty and comfy, and get as many as I can, but quality is also good, so thanks in advance for the help!
Or should I just go ahead and get something cheap from walmart. I don’t like spending money. any other cheap places I can get underwear?
Thanks Nana! I think you are definitely right! I am going to go with forever 21! They have great deals and their clothes are awesomeee!
ummmm…now i am confused. lol! okay, which has better lace, and boyshorts?

Michelle answers:

Well Forever 21 has amazing quality.
1. Cotton & Polyester! (Comfy)
2.Cute and comfortable.
3.They have awesome cartoons and designs.
4.Even though they are a bit pricey Forever 21 is very fun and free.
5. It’s stylish with teens and juniors!
6. Trust me people will like it.
7. You’ll probably looks super cute at a sleep over and all.

FOREVER 21 FOREVER!
Hope this helped <3
🙂

Carol asks…

Victoria Secret or Forever 21?

I have been searching all summer for a job and now I have to pick between two of my top choices! :/ I already accept a job at Forever 21 thinking that my original first choice, Victoria Secret, would never call me. However they called me this morning to speak with the manager of what I would be doing. I’ve wanted Victoria Secret for a while but after interviewing and talking with the manager at Forever 21 I see that that would be a beautiful place to work too. Where do you think is a better place to work?

Michelle answers:

I love shopping at both stores but I personally think Forever 21 would be a more fun place to work. At Victoria’s Secret you have to wear a suit everyday and at Forever 21 you can wear all sorts of fun things. The discount would be great at both places at well, but I think you’d get more use out of Forever 21, but that’s just me. If you wear a TON of Victoria’s Secret then maybe the discount would be better there. Also think about how flexible is with the work schedule you need.

Lisa asks…

Forever 21 outfits ?????????

So I was wondering if u no any cute clothes like destroyed jeans ! It really doesn’t have to be at forever 21 … links would be nice

Michelle answers:

Tiered top = forever 21

Your Questions About Food Network

Steven asks…

What cheese goes well with steak?

I often see the Food Network chefs topping their steaks with bleu cheese or gorgonzola sauce…I don’t either, but I like the idea. What other cheeses would someone recommend? Does feta work?
**I don’t like either**
Sorry about the typo.

Michelle answers:

Feta is alright but depending on how you make the steak a nice brie would be good. Or any crumbly or smooth cheese is good.

Mark asks…

What is the proper way to pronounce “crêpe?”?

I’m watching Food Network, and I’ve heard the various chefs say it three different ways. Either like “crayp” or like “crehp” or almost like “crap” but not quite. Heh. What is the real correct way to pronounce this word? Thank you!

Michelle answers:

Wikipedia says: English pronunciation: /?kre?p/, French: [k??p]; Breton: krampouezhenn

M-W.com says it’s like “crayp” (rhymes with “drape”)

You can listen to it on the m-w.com site as an audio clip: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/crepe

Your Questions About Firefox

William asks…

IE or Firefox?

Do you prefer Internet Explorer 6-7 or Firefox 2?

Michelle answers:

Firefox is much better at general surfing. Occasionally you will come across a web site that wont work, but you just switch back. Firefox is less susceptable to viruses and spyware. Another good solution is Opera. But Firefox is definitely best

Lisa asks…

how do i use firefox?

what is firefox and how do i use it?

Michelle answers:

Firefox is a web browser, like Internet Explorer, AOL, or Netscape. It is superior to all three of these options because it is high performance and extremely customizable. To start, go to getfirefox.com and download firefox. At first most use it like any other web browser, but eventually you will build up a library of add-ons and customizations to make your Firefox unique.

George asks…

whats better Firefox or Internet?

What do you like better Firefox Or Internet?

Michelle answers:

Firefox because it is safer, faster, and more customizable than internet explorer. Also with firefox you can have certain extensions that come in very handy. I believe firefox and internet are like facebook and myspace (firefox=facebook and internet=myspace) internet explorer used to be a power house until facebook came and got popular. Also, facebook brought up many good ideas and myspace tried to copy it (like with peoeples pictures)

hope this helps haha

Sandy asks…

Is firefox better than opera?

Is it better privacy with firefox? thanks

Michelle answers:

Firefox also has private browsing mode, and Opera probably does too.

I think they’re both equal in terms of privacy. I don’t use Opera but I’m sure it lets you change settings the way FF lets you change things in about:config. Disable dom.storage, disable sendReferer. In the privacy settings don’t allow 3rd party cookies.

Both are compatible with the Ghostery add-on which blocks tracking scripts and a list of bad cookies. Both are also compatible with Adblock Plus which, in addition to the regular ad-blocking subscription, has a subscription “EasyPrivacy”.

Firefox has an add-on “GoogleSharing” which anonymizes your google searches (via proxy) so Google doesn’t know what IP they’re coming from.

If you really want privacy use a VPN or Tor. And use an email account at riseup.net.
