Hating UPS

UPS stinks. Really, it does.

I love ordering stuff online. Especially stuff that I know I'll already like (knowing that I won't have to return it). But when UPS has to deliver it, it's enough to get my panties in a knot.

Check this out:

05/01/2006
1:47 P.M.
THE RECEIVER WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO SIGN ON THE 2ND DELIVERY ATTEMPT. A 3RD DELIVERY ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE

04/28/2006
1:21 P.M.
THE RECEIVER WAS UNAVAILABLE TO SIGN ON THE 1ST DELIVERY ATTEMPT. A 2ND DELIVERY ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE


Why would UPS return to deliver my package at almost the same exact time they delivered the previous business day? If I wasn't there to receive it the day before, what makes the delivery guy think I'll be there at the same time the next day? I live in a condo - there are 11 other buzzers to ring, but according to UPS, they are "not allowed" to ring everyone's buzzer. Fine. Don't bother my neighbors. But then deliver at night. Or even better, start working on the weekends.

I hate UPS.

But don't you at least like those cute shorts they wear?

Gary - Actually, yes, I love the UPS delivery men in their shorts. As a matter of fact, I am a sucker for the entire brown uniform, right down to the socks! That's why I could never stay mad at UPS for long; they delivered my package yesterday afternoon, and even my husband, who was mad at them too, softened up when he signed for it.
