The UPS man ran over my mailbox when it snowed back in January. He didn't even throw the package out the window. Oh, there wasn't anywhere to put it! I came close to putting an arrow in one of them big old tire. I have a pop up mailbox now. Go ahead, hit it with a bat, it's gonna pop right back up.

My attempted joke may have fallen flat. If so, sorry.

My wife is frustrated by a delivery too. She has a yarn order coming UPS that has been in the local warehouse for several days. That distribution center got hit by about 20 inches of snow just after it arrived, so nothing moved for a few days. 4" of show creates havoc here. We are cetainly not set up handle 20". Then we had Valentine's Day. There is an overload of deliveries, maybe some perishable ones of high priority.

From your thread, I will now change some of my advice. Instead of just warning people to avoid ordering chicks and hatching eggs around postal holidays, I'll probably start warning about Valentine's day and Mother's Day, periods when the postal and delivery workers may be busy and shipments delayed.

This probably does not address your question, but your thread got me to thinking.

I got the joke there. Thats why I had the shooting comment. I know the driver pretty well actually for over 15 years... Anyway, I got my mouse trap today in the mail. A day later than expected but not a big deal... Just think passing it off to the US mail is stupid. An it was not UPS that did it. The shipping label says for UPS to ship to the post office with a second label for the US mail. The company it came from chose this weirdness?

I give Fed Ex, UPS, and USPS drivers/delivery fresh tomatoes in season. We get along great. With my wife and her orders, I get to know them all.

I gave the postal carrier's mother a box of beets last year. He has mentioned how great those pickled beets were. His daughter cleans my teeth. Small towns are great.

My wife is still frustrated though with her yarn shipment. Tracking says it wil be delivered today but they lost it for a while at the warehouse.

Some times they will deliver through the PO if you don't have a street address on the package,although we have our PO Box registered with UPS so they know what the street address is. DHL, though, always delivered through the PO--maybe that's why they couldn't compete and went belly-up. We're at the end of the UPS run--they stop here on the way back to the distribution center-- and I used to be so friendly with the UPS guy that if he saw me anyplace during his route and had a package he'd call me over and hand it to me. On the other hand, we have one FEDEx guy who insists on dropping packages at the door that leads from our bedroom--had to have it put in when we remodeled since the windows are too small for fire escape--in spite of a big sign that says "Do not leave packages here!" I guess being able to read isn't a job requirement. We've had stuff he stuck between the storm door and inside door be there for a couple of days before we thought to check for it.
