Haha, so what's it take to get my name moved to the top. I'm always extra nice to the drivers. I even helped the guy who delivered some furniture to me, get it off the truck and move it so he didn't have to do it by himself.

Hmmm. Guess the savings is worth the wait. Do the math and see how much was saved.
No, actually I couldn't have. I could not find anyone local that had them in stock.

+1. We live out in the country and we must be about last on the route. At least he's a really nice guy and remembers my name.

Even if it's addressed to my wife, he calls me by name.

The UPS guy in my area actually likes coming to my house, just to look at the bike, he ask every time "didn't I leave that here the other day". I get my deliveries around 9am, so I know that they don't sit in the tanning bed til 4pm, of just wait to get your stuff off of the truck. maybe they have not seen your scoot, or maybe they are posers, or just don't like motorcycles.

All of my UPSpackages usually deliver in the "Post 4:30 Timeframe" as well. Is there something I could do for you in the future to move this timeframe up a little to say noon-ish?

I know that is not possible, but I would pay a yearly fee to make something like that happen.

True hopefully stuff isn't hanging out the package when it arrives or smashed beyond recognition.

UPS = United Parcel Smashers

Not bad I guess. I posted that on the 12th. UPS had the 11th and yesterday the 16th it came at 1830. Rather odd time. This guy was in a Red Mini van no UPS designation anywhere. Packages were a squishy but nothing broken or dented.
