Did anyone else use the Overseas Vote Fund's deal with Fedex? If so, there's a flaw in their system. I downloaded the completed Fedex airbill and had no problem sending it through Fedex on 25 de Mayo. But the package got stopped in the U.S., for not having commercial clearance. Apparently, the airbill generated by the Overseas Vote Fund didn't specify what was in the package (and the voter wasn't supposed to write anything on the airbill).

I talked to two supervisors at Fedex and although they released my ballot, they agreed that others would get stopped the same way. If you used this program, you need to track your ballot and call Fedex ASAP to clear it.
 
A followup (although it seems no one else has used the system): the Overseas Vote Fund is on the case and says mine is the only ballot to have been stopped. They are very defensive about this subject now, so just contact Fedex if you see any issues in your tracking info.
