On the opposite end of the spectrum, I've had all of these problems with FedEX and UPS, but in my area, service with Airborne Express is absolutely superb. I live across the street from my office and routinely FedEX and UPS will deliver packages intended for me at one location to the other (as in, I have something shipped to me at home, and they deliver it to the office, or visa versa), packages arrive battered beyond recognition.... Airborne, on the other hand, treats all of my packages with kid gloves and I've never had a delivery SNAFU with them. As to the whole mix up with Airborne and insuring Apple packages...... when I used to work for an Apple Authorized Service Provider, all Apple parts shipments were sent via Airborne and if there was any shipping damage, Apple corrected the matter, not Airborne. I'm guessing that's the contract they have worked out, or something. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
