Hi Daryl!
BM> I'd be sticking with FedEx then. ...What happens if you as the shipper has
BM> great luck with them but the recipient has had horrible luck??!!
DS> I likely will stick with them...but unless there's a weather
DS> delay or other issue, the package usually gets there when
DS> promised...at least with FedEx.
Over the years I have had a few day delays from UPS but has also either
due to nasty weather or truck issue, and was notified via e-mail (I am
signed up for notifications). And to be fair the other way, I have had
deliveries at 8 and 9 at night.
BM> I did a quick on-line search and it seemed more logical to ship _to_ a Post
BM> Office address than a residential, much less not: docking
BM> facilities, clustering (several drop-offs in the same area as opposed
BM> to residential being scattered).
DS> Agreed. That's where I have shipments sent now, and I pick them
DS> up at the Post Office during regular business hours.
Find it too difficult when they're closed, hmmm? <Pulling on locked
doors: "Let me in!!" <g>>
BM> As for the Glitter Bomb, saw Parts I and II earlier this year and :).
BM> Also had seem some of it on a TV show and was disappointed in that
BM> presentation. Was from the same as on YouTube, just made highly bland: the
BM> glitter part was barely tossed as opposed to throughout the room,
BM> the Fart Spray portion was more like hallitosis....
DS> Sounds like the TV show censored it. I thought it was better on
DS> YouTube, even though some parts were censored (mainly the
DS> profanity).
Censoring the profanity is fine IMO; the TV segment edited things so it
was more like Sparkle Poof 0.3,
DS> At least UPS or FedEx packs the stuff for you...but, you have
DS> to pay for the container and the labor.
BM> Is some instances it would be worth it.
DS> True...but the way they throw stuff around, you have to wonder.
DS> The tagline below bears this out.
<moved up>
DS> ... To Post Office: "Photos - Don't Bend", isn't a challenge.
Simple: slip a steel sheet in the envelope!
BM> Mine has received a few what are probably from political campaigns are IIRC
BM> those are excluded from the registry. ...I've sometimes wondered
BM> if being on the list _increases_ the calls? If the call originates
BM> from outside the U.S. I don't think they're subject to our laws, and here's
BM> a nice list of people!
DS> If I don't recognize the number, I hit the red button. If they
DS> leave a voicemail, I decide whether or not to return the call,
DS> depending on the content. If they call right back, chances are
DS> it's not a robocall.
Good! Hate to have your Microsoft Warranty expire, your car coverage
slip, your Social Security Number be void....
