I know the Fedex stores have had there issues as well. In my experience Fedex runs a tighter ship, though I don't use the franchise drop off locations for any carrier, authorized sorting facilities only for my drop offs.
I hope this situation has a favorable outcome.

This right here is the best course of action... I do the same except I wait until an hour or less before cut off... the least amount of time they have it sitting around, the better... shipping priority overnight usually means the package is in FedEx's possession for less than 20 hours... dropping off with one of their authorized ship centers is the same as the UPS store... always go for an actual FedEx ship center... if there aren't trucks outside, keep moving along...
I am currently dealing with a lost USPS registered mail shipment (incoming) so no one is infallible no matter how many checks... to be honest, I've always felt registered mail was a bad option because of the amount of time it can take and the limit information everyone gets... at the end of the day, they just shrug it off anyway... but FedEx has always been my preferred shipper... hopefully the buyer and seller are both reimbursed but this should definitely serve as a lesson to one-off sellers...
