Waiting for UPS....

How many of you, when you have nothing better to do, sit and stare out the window waiting for the UPS truck? I'm sitting here waiting for my new Adrenaline with not a darn thing to do, literally NOTHING, and I feel like some pumped up kid waiting to go shopping for his first car!

More importantly, my entire work day was wasted away staring at the UPS tracking page to see if it had been delivered while I was gone.


Dear UPS gods, make my driver hurry up!

If it doesn't come (even though it was next day air), I'm holding you personally responsible..

Man, that is not the experience that I've had. The Postal Service is slow, has no tracking, and costs more. FedEx and UPS are really about equal though. We ship a couple thousand packages every year from my department at work and have used them all. The worst by far though is DHL. We were constantly searching and filing claims on packages.

That isn't Edmonton as in Canada is it? If so, then I take back what I said. UPS to Canada is terrible.

Huh, I've personally never had any issues with UPS. I've found them to be very reliable. But you're right, US Postal is an excellent way also.

That sucks. I only deal in the business side, I just figured it to be the same.

Have you got it yet? I know I've seen UPS out still delivering after 7pm.

I got it a few hours ago, so it's all good. Almost completely installed too, except for a few discrepancies between box and instructions.

Start saving for your transmission now. Trust me its not a question of "if", but "when"

My wife used to be a customer service rep and dealt with all the delievery services.
From what she told me, if there was a delievery prob, UPS had the better track record so far as finding where the problem was.

BTW, whenever the UPS truck shows up in front of our house, the only thing she asks is " What did you but now??
