Why would you order something delivered if you know you are not going to be there ?

Think ahead next time.

I don't take a day off of work in anticipation of UPS delivering my fleshlight. :confused:

And who's fault is that, may I ask ?

I'll NEVER be here! And to clarify, there are two types of signatures required for UPS. On one you can just sign ahead of time and they'll drop off. Another requires signature in person. And no, I cant deliver things to work. And I dont know any neighbors, or anyone thats home during the day for that matter.

I never said it was anyone's fault. I wasn't the one complaining.

Uh, if a vendor is going to require a signature in person, they need to inform the person ahead of time. Had I known that, I would have paid a few dollars more for USPS to deliver the package instead. Usually when I order something it sits outside my house all damn day, and no problems so far.

Yes, but if the day comes there is a problem, I'll bet the first person you'll blame will either be the post office, or the company that sent it to you.

I have more to think about (not much of a worrier) then a $50 package swiped off of my doorstep.

can UPS deliver it to your workplace?

Well their motto is, "We Deliver for You!"

That's the USPS.

UPS = "What can Brown do for you?"

"What can Brown do for you" besides piss you off occasionally?

Well they could deliver their packages on time for once. I hate Brown too.

But a $50 package not being delivered... well, that's a whole 'nother story!

What sucks is that for people like me, it is a 3 hour drive to the nearest center.
