FedEx guy says:
If it was FedEx, “2nd Day” is a commitment by 4:30 pm of the 2nd Business Day after pickup. Because of the Holiday, the commitment for a Tuesday pickup is Friday 4:30, If sent If sent on Wednesday, then Monday by 4:30. All of this is complicated by the fact that cut-off times in Hawaii are VERY early in the day, because of the time zone difference, and the need to get a flight into Memphis by 0130 CST in the morning to make the primary sort.
But most people send documents by “Priority” or “Standard Overnight” with next day commitments of 1030 and 1500 respectively. Sometimes, especially post-holiday, and on Mondays, “2nd-Day” service will end up delivered a day earlier than the commitment.

This sounds a lot like the Norwegian time release of tapes a couple of months ago. Michelle Obama made some remark to a Kenyan paper, don't remember the specifics, that was recorded & guaranteed to torpedo the anointed ones election bid. Still waiting ...
Thanks for the information on the Fedx procedures. It makes the delay understandable.
