Barry,
BM> I'll still say it's just luck as have seen pictures of FedEx planes
BM> which have crashed, their trucks havign caught fire, etc. OTOH so have
BM> other delivery companies. Must also note some people just never have
BM> any luck with a specific business while others have great luck.
That's me...UPS and the Postal Service have given me trouble with
shipments, but FedEx (so far) has gotten stuff there when promised.
Now, if weather was an issue, I could understand a delay in shipping.
DS> Unfortunately, if the addressee is at a Post Office Box, you
DS> have no choice but to send it via the Post Office...as FedEx,
DS> UPS, and DHL, will NOT deliver to Post Office Boxes.
BM> Though you and few other people have gotten around it by delivery to
BM> the Post Office building's address, Unit # whatever the PO Box is. :)
Yet, some places will still require a residence, and not a business.
This brings "The Glitter Bomb" to mind (search for that on YouTube).
BM> Yes, I've seen that picture too; don't know if it's real but it is
BM> kinda funny!
Things can be photoshopped.
BM> Have had problem with the Post Office: the occasional piece of missing
BM> mail. Can't think of a package issue right now but probably (and a lot
BM> of damages were more due to the shipper using flimsy containers than a
BM> 'Postal Elephant' sitting on them).
At least UPS or FedEx packs the stuff for you...but, you have to pay
for the container and the labor.
BM> Probably more old address lists. My Mother still gets the occasionally
BM> mail addressed to my Father and he's been dead for ten years. A friend
BM> of mine still gets mail addressed to his parents and an aunt and
BM> they've been gone for a long time also.
I've got to contact the DO NOT CALL registry to get my cellphones on it.
I'm being slammed by these robocalls.
