It happens with shipping. I know a little about the way fedex or other shippers work, and the logistics aren't all that straight. Depending on how it was sent, their routing algorithm can send low priority stuff via a very circuitous route depending on how much is being shipped where. So when it was three or 4 hours from you, they may not have had open truck space due to higher priority items taking up space from there to your area, so if it is bulk/package level, you basically get routed wherever there is open space. Course could also be a screw up, too.
