UPS seems like the Maxtor of shipping... can't really call them universally craptacular, but worth avoiding.

The only issue I ever had with UPS was when I used the Hayes 56k modem upgrade program and was waiting for my modem to arive. I missed delivery and decided to drive to the distribution center since I was about to go on vacation. It just happened to coincide with a strike. I pulled up to the distribution center and the guys were there with picket signs. I started to pull into the parking lot when the asshat decided he was going to walk very slowly in front of my car. For the record, car beats human every time. I waited a second and then started going. The guy jumped out of my way and started yelling at me. I flippd him the bird and continued up the lot to get my package.

well, the occasional delayed package also has happened, but that happens with all shippers at some point.

:confused:

You'll learn what a strike is once you get to high school.

Until then, quit neffing.

Heh... :D

I guess I should clarify slightly, though...I was already moving...then the guy started to walk into the street...so I hit the brakes and basically stopped while he just looked at me. I pulled to the left a bit to go around him and continued to drive through the lot. I wasn't in danger of hitting him unless >>HE<< continued to walk and hit into my car. I think he jumped back out of the way because I surprised him by not stopping and waiting for him to cross.

That's often been my experience too. I still prefer FedEx though, since they are always faster than UPS IMO.
