    I was voting absentee in Colorado for the 1996 election because I was stationed in Maryland. I sent my ballot off 3 weeks before election day by dropping in a collection box at the post office located 0.75 miles from my townhouse. 2.5 weeks later, it was delivered to my townhouse. I took it straight over to the post office and expressed both my displeasure and the importance of having my vote delivered to Colorado for the election. 1 week later, it was once again delivered to my townhouse in Maryland.

    Thats classic. 2 weeks to go 3/4 of a mile in the wrong direction.

    This is why I have all my ammo delivered to my work now.

    I once had a complete upper delivered to the wrong address. I walked around my neighborhood and found it sitting outside the door at a house a few streets over. Got lucky.

    Twice lucky that you weren't caught on a camera picking up a package from the door of the house.

    Meh. I'm not too concerned about someone taking a picture of me retrieving personal property.

    Are kids lucky if they don't get caught on camera retrieving their ball that ended up in the neighbor's front yard?

    Hopefully we all know the answer to that.

    We know the legal answer, but that doesn't make it right.

    UPS used to be great for me. I just had a package get pushed last night though. Back to "out for delivery" today. Ugh. New driver. Our old driver used to be here by 10 am most days. New lady wont get here til 4 at the earliest.

    FedEX, UPS, Etc. isn't really the issue, it's the individual driver. I used to be a rabid fan of FedEx and then we got a new driver and it has me seeing UPS in a whole new light. In hindsight, my situation wasn't affected by a given company, just a motivated honest employee. My current UPS guy is great....I just fear he'll retire and then the dice gets rolled again.
