Looks like "Wilmington" screwed them up...got wrong state?

I like the service and they are generally good but the prices on Fedex are getting kind of high. I sent an overnight box of scallops to my sister in NC and it was 90 bucks for shipping. I could have delivered them myself for that on a plane.
There has got to be a company out there that can fix the shipping/mail problems this country has. The government can't run the Postal system, that is a given.
