Comments on: When did UPS become a bunch of fuckwads? http://blog.xcski.com/2005/09/01/when-did-ups-become-a-bunch-of-fuckwads Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.

And everything that I complained that you used to be able to do with UPS, FedEx does right. The door tag had the address of the local depot, their hours, and the information that you could come by the depot after 5:30pm to pick up the item, or if you didn’t come, they’d re-attempt the delivery the next day, and if I wanted I could sign the door tag in lieu of signing for the package. You could even give them information on a secure place on your premises for them to leave it, if you wanted them to put it behind the door or in your garage or something.

I once had to threaten to have Fedex show up at the UPS depot for my package with a reporter and photographer in tow unless they told their driver to turn around and show up in front of my building. Fortunately, I didn't have to resort to this, but I do my best to avoid using them whenever possible.

Or, rather, not deliver - I never once had one of their packages arrive on time. I lost a couple of sales - and customers! - over some of those late packages. People talk smack about Canada Post, or they used to anyway, but CP was *way* more reliable for me than UPS ever was. Much cheaper too. One of my suppliers started using UPS only - I dumped them, and told them why. That's how much I dislike UPS. (UUUPS, we lost your box!)
