Not happy with UPS

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

i got a kinda funky ups story.
they couldnt find my house for a misprinted address (112 instead of 1112), 
and ended up somehow looking up an old address (>1 year), and delivering it 
there. after calling them up about the 'delivered' package, i straightened 
them out on the real address and they went and picked it back up and brought 
it to me. pretty decent actually.

i think the majority of bad ups service stems from the local area offices. 
most are good, but some are really shitty (so it seems).
