Man, I tell ya.....

UPS...I'm on a private road, put down an address thatshouldbe understandable, but nooooo...."Can't find location". Call UPS customer service - not in this area of course, give them verbal directions, Oh, will be delivered tomorrow! Hanging around - you guessed it! no UPS! growl!

USPS...Ya think living in an area like Petticoat Junction that the mailman could remember where YOU live?!?!?! Heck NO!!!! He deliverers a 1TB new hard drive to some guys BUILDING A HOUSE that aren't even the home owners AND IT IS EVEN THE WRONG ADDRESS!!!!

Freight... Ships from Altanta, goes to Ohio, then to Seattle, TO GET TO NEW MEXICO?!?!?!?! - freight carrier's fault NOT SHIPPER! - (Not Shippers fault).

UPS - Online "Need further directions" - 3rd attempt to deliver, called'em again, gave them directions again, How funny & sad. Every street has a street sign, in from of my house is a large wooden post at the road with my name hanging on it. It has to be a new driver because we've had several deliveries in the past!

We've had very good luck with this freight company, but lately, they have not been performing to par.

Have you been in contact with the guys at the office?

I've been out of the office for the past few days and am now on the plane back. I will personally call the freight company and will make sure you get a 120cm!!!!

We don't even bother with UPS up here in Canada, they either lose the package or take months to deliver to the wrong address and you end up driving two hours to the depot to pick it up yourself.

Think they should start up the Pony Express again!
