The best package yet from UPS

Hm...I actually have never had a damaged package from any three carriers.(Knock on wood) Although right now I have 3 different items each being shipped on a different carrier (UPS, Fedex, USPS). So I'll see how that goes.

OK, thanks.


I ordered an item from some online store. I didnt know the store was crap at the time.

They didnt specify which carrier they used and didnt say anything about not shipping to P.O. Boxes.
So I entered my shipping address as a PO Box. (I was not able to get mail at my residence at this time).

Sure enough it got sent out UPS, despite the fact I had put "PO Box 934" in the delivery line.
What ticks me off is that UPS actually accepted it. After about a week of frantic searching I was told that UPS had delivered it. TO A FVCKING STREET ADDRESS IN THE NEXT TOWN!!

I found it on Mapquest and drove over. I guess the family had been on vacation because the box was still sitting there unopened. I grabbed it and hauled my merchandise home. (Which may have been illegal, ???)

After that I made it a point to see which service an online store uses and I avoid UPS whenever possible.

LMAO! At least you were able to find the package and weren't shot in the process. I am sure that dealing with customer service at this "crap" online store wouldn't have been fun, especially since the package had been delivered.
