 Total bummer!  I need to ship a watch overseas for an update and I'm worried about which carrier to use.  I've had both USPS & UPS f**k up lately.  First I bought a watch off a sales forum that was shipped the next day via Priority mail from less than 700 miles away.  One week goes buy, then two weeks, then three...  This is some Priority I'm thinking...  The guy refunds me and puts in an insurance claim.   Six weeks from the day the guy mailed the watch I get a card in my mail box telling me I need to come to the post office to pick up a package..  Sure enough..it's the watch!  The package was tore to hell, but the watch lived.   I contacted the guy and repaid him for it..

Then several weeks later I went into a jewelery store about an hour from home to purchase a new wedding ring.  I got a tungsten with gold inlay and got a really good sale price.   They had to order my size and shipped it to me when it came in - UPS Next Day..  The next morning I get a call from an old couple about 6 houses down the street saying they got a package for me, and would bring it by in a few minutes.  I'm thinking the address must have been put on the box wrong, but no it was perfect so apparently moron UPS guy can't read...  Good thing I have nice honest neighbors!
