Gotta Love UPS adnd FedEx

The Poet · 12-25-2013, 10:10 AM

I just saw a story about folks in places like Memphis and Dallas who have yet to get packages that have been "in transit" for weeks. Seems UPS is blaming the snow and ice storm, though that was also several weeks past. And I was upset that a non-urgent box for myself sent from Best Buy by the hybrid "UPS-MI" method, and scheduled for delivery on the 16th, did not arrive here until the 20th . . . though it got to Whippany NJ, maybe a two-hour WALK from here, on the 17th.

Not really bashing UPS, as they are normally very good and reliable, and no doubt weather and holiday backlog were factors. But still . . . sheesh!
