UPS warning

[juliemac57@hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

I despise Airborn. They sent the package out, but never delivered it. I 
watched the web site go from "Out for delivery" to "At hub" (the day before 
and 2 hours earlier).
When they delivered it the next day, they dropped it at the wrong house, one 
house over.
