Barry,
BM> So that tends to invalidate what you're doing. And since your doing it
BM> it's not invalid. Back to checking.
I still refer to them as "OOPS", after losing packages and items.
BM> Can I ship via FedEx or UPS to a PO box?
BM> Short answer:
BM> Yes, if you use a "hybrid service" like FedEx SmartPost or UPS
BM> SurePost.
You can also ship it to a UPS Store, if they have "boxes available" for
rent.
BM> FedEx and UPS can't deliver to PO boxes because the USPS won't let
BM> them. It's as simple as that, or at least, it was that simple for
BM> many years.
BM> There is an obscure feature of the USPS offered for some PO boxes
Well, so far, I haven't had a problem doing it that way. If they ship
via USPS in the first place, there's no problem. But, UPS, FedEx, etc.
don't allow you to have it shipped to a facility, where you could pick
it up. Instead, you have to sit and wait at home, etc., all day and into
the night, for the package to arrive.
BM> So one of those no-and-yes situations. %) The postal customer (that be
BM> you!) has to ask for a special box to get this normally-no option.
Well, my box is not the smallest size, but a tad bigger. Yet, "size does
matter". <G>
BM> And as far as late deliveries, had one last night. Mail here at the
BM> house didn't arrive until approxiamtely 7:40 p.m.! I don't remember it
BM> being that late unless something happened to the postal vehicle. UPS,
BM> FedEx, etc. will normally deliver as late as 8 p.m. but the time is usually
BM> on their electronic notifications.
If weather is an issue, I can understand it. But, if the employee is
"goofing off", that's not acceptable.
On an ironic note, this young woman's childhood best friend, surprised
her with a package, as he was disguised as a FedEx delivery driver. When he
lowered his mask, and she realized who it was, "she melted at his feet".

BM> For a while this summer it was running a day early: the delivery was a
BM> day after the e-mail said it would.
The app is more wrong than the weatherman with his forecast. :P
BM> Now I have to research that? <gg> It appears both suggested options
BM> are used, plus a couple more. Have seen where the CC is almost exactly
BM> what the actor/character says so seems to be script-based, others
BM> exactly what the actor says down to stammering. Then there are shows
BM> like _Adam-12_ where the actor will say "this young punk sprinted away" and
BM> the captioning will display "the hoodlum then ran in that
BM> direction". Huh? Where'd they get that??!! Sometimes it seems like
BM> I'm watching the international version (if there is such a thing) where the
BM> English has been changed to make it easier for non-English speakers
BM> to under- stand.
That researching keeps you out of trouble. <G>
DS> I've seen where one person rigged up his campaign sign with
DS> electrical wire (shocking), and another "cut to the quick" with
DS> razor blades in the edges. I've never seen such political vitrol
DS> as I have this year.
BM> That's going more than a little overboard.
Whatever happened to civility, and even good sportsmanship??
BM> Gee, I thought lollipops were created in a factory!
DS> Lolli has more than one father?? <G>
BM> Biologically probably no, but the way her mother fooled around....!!
So she had a lover that would "suck her"?? <bseg>
Yes, I did just go there, but I'm in one of my nether moods today. :P
