Wanna know something that seriously bugs me about UPS?  I have a watch coming via UPS 3 Day Select, scheduled for delivery tomorrow.  It arrived in Portland last night (a stones throw from where I am) and has just been sitting since.  It COULD have continued on it's way to me and been delivered a day early, but UPS is sitting on in until tomorrow.  This has happened before and makes no sense to me.

... but on the bright side at least it's not coming via DHL.  With UPS I at least have a pretty decent chance of receiving the box in one piece! :P

I hear ya man. I hate it when a shipper uses DHL to ship to me. I don't think I have had one package from them arrived when shown in tracking. :shock:

UPS though the past few years has delivered allot of packages that were boxed all beat up. Folks can't seem to read that word fragile in big red letters anymore. :?

I've actually known two people who used to work for UPS and both told me that when a box is marked "fragile" that means throw it harder.  :(

I guess I've been lucky with both UPS and Fedex.  I even had Fedex deliver one day early.  For the most part, the boxes are not too banged up.
