TFlan I am happy you received your packages. The big brown brigade always delivers their packages, it may not be to the right address, but they get rid of them. Honestly, I would be willing to bet that your driver just wanted to get the packages off his truck (as an "ex-UPS driver" I know that

TFlan,   I've heard horror stories about UPS, but in Hawaii they beat FedExcuse hands down.  FedExcuse has rode past my shop on many occasions only to swear up and down that I wasn't available to take receipt. Then I have to haul my butt over 20 miles to pick up the box from their location.

I used to deliver for UPS, and I would echo the assertion that the quality of sevice depends mostly on the driver. Oftentimes UPS will have each driver learn up to 4-5 other routes (to fill in for vacations, absences, etc.). Unless the normal driver gives a "heads up" to the subs concerning shor

Hi Tflan,   I used UPS quite bit but I switched to USPS in the last couple of years. I probably ship about 100 packages a year. Since UPS is 18 miles one way and USPS is only two I have been going with the latter. I never had any real trouble with UPS. In another business I ran many years ago

Have experienced a bit of the same. For private deliveries I always over insure and claim day one. After 3X, I guess my driver got the clue as UPS had to cough up 4.5K. Funny (though devious), I was able on my own (UPS made no efforts in this area) to locate and claim 2 of the mis-delivered packag
