Ongoing process.

Given that I have a FedEx tracking number as well as a landlady willing to be in the house for a couple of hours tomorrow, it's my line of thought that it'd be possible to track the package long-distance and then call my landlady and tell her she needs to be behind the door to open it from eleven to one. Something like that.

The hitch in this plan is that I won't have computer access to check the package's movements.

A workaround might well be posting the tracking number to this Livejournal and asking people use the services provided to send me text messages to my phone to tell me when to call and update the landlady. To a tight filter, of course.

Does anyone think this crazy enough to work, or is it crazy enough to fail spectacularly?

Gordian knots.

At the suggestion of a classmate, I called FedEx itself, and they've arranged to hold the package for delivery until the nineteenth, two days after I arrive back in the city.

Definitely one less thing to worry about.
