it happens sometimes. sometimes it says it will ship on a certain date and it ships earlier.
with UPS, when they say an order will ship on a certain date, it will ship on that date. it probably wont ship earlier. Sometimes Fedex or UPS dont update their tracking system but its been fine for me.

It really depends.
Basically 2 things could be happening here.
Scenario 1: Your package information has been sent to FedEx. They have processed the information and assigned a tracking number. At this point, they are waiting for the sender to give them the package so they can send it out. And in my case, with ZZF, they haven't sent it to FedEx to ship to me even though I ordered it on the 24th of Oct. So I'm semi-pissed at ZZF right now, as the item was in stock when I ordered it.
Scenario 2: Same as above, ONLY your package has been delivered to FedEx for shipping. Behind the picture in this scenario, you are relying on the employees and machinery of FedEx to scan your package at every load/unload by the employee and re-route of your package by the machinery. If your box misses one of those scans, information about the whereabouts of your package at that specific time are not logged. Out of averages, I'm guessing that packages will only be scanned about 75% of the time by employees and ~99% by the automated scanners.
If you don't hear anything from a FedEx man on the delivery date, I would contact the seller first and find out where your package is. My guess at that point, is that the package has not gone to FedEx yet.

perhaps a better question is are the trackers ever right... I had one though UPS say the package was still at the original mailing place and a hr later it was at my door.
I find that ups and fedex's tracking has much to be desired.
