Dang UPS!
« on: December 12, 2007, 09:56:00 AM »
Ok I really appreciate UPS's efficiency with deliveries but today they've go too far! My order from 3 Rivers Archery was scheduled for delivery today. UPS could have done their normal thing and delivered it mid day or in the afternoon while I was already at work. But NOOOOOOO they didn't do that and had to deliver my package this morning 30 minutes before I   usually leave for work.          :knothead:

You've got something to look forward to after work.  Work then play!  It will wait. I know that wasn't what you wanted to hear.

Count yourself luck - the last 3Rivers package UPS delivered to me was  cut in half !  They only delivered half the box.
Since then 3Rivers has shipped all my stuff USPS  :)

The other day I was in my shop working and heard a box hit the ground and a truck drive off.
    I looked out and there was a long box (leather) laying in the driveway....
    The driver just threw the bow over the fence, The only reeason I knew it was there was hearing it hit the ground....
    I walked out and put the box on my shoulder and started walking back to my shop shaking my head, the driver stoped and ask if there was something wrong....
    I just keeped shaking my head and walked off....
    Yes it was a Brown truck....
I prefer USPS Priority mail, it's all that I use here at M.A.L.

I watched a UPS driver kick a package from the front of his truck to the back end and toss several others.  I "spoke" to him, as I was really upset that someone may be getting a broken something.  No response from Mr. Brown.

My "brown" driver that delivers to my place of business and I are buddies.  He handles packages like everyone here has already mentioned.  When I give him a hard time about it, he looks at me like I've got two heads.  I think it's entertainment for them to get through the day.  Nothing but USPS Priority for me personally.

I've had UPS deliver my packages to the wrong address twice.  And it didn't go to the next door neighbor, it went to the same house number 1/2 a mile away!

If I have a choice I always send and receive via USPS.

I got a package from the "Brown Clown" today. A new bow!!! a couple of months ago they delivered my new Gibson mandolin that was broke in shipping.
They paid for the repairs but it still leaves a bad feeling towards them.

This thread isn't worth much without a list of the toys!

Brown delivered my last two packages to my neighbors too. I always use and ask for USPS when possible.

Nothing fancy or to drool over. Since I was out of archery for 20 years and gave all my stuff to my brother, I've got to start over. The toys to use with a loaner red wing hunter bow (thanks Joel) include stringer, cedar arrow test set, string silencer stuff, etc.... Just mundane stuff you need but still makes me feel like a kid waiting on Christmas.     :D
