UPS warning

I've only used Airborne once, things went fine and the package showed up right on time. As for UPS, getting a package delivered next door would be something I consider not bad. They dropped off my subs to a house a few miles away and just left them on the front porch even though a signature was required. In my area, they were damn lucky to get them back. Took them 3 days too.

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.

<P>I've only used Airborne once, things went fine and the package showed up right on time. As for UPS, getting a package delivered next door would be something I consider not bad. They dropped off my subs to a house a few miles away and just left them on the front porch even though a signature was required. In my area, they were damn lucky to get them back.
