Too bad the USMMA and the College of Charleston pound them both, every year

Yeah those are good schools. I don't think Yale has a very good sailing program, they are big into rowing I see them out their all the time.

My friend is probably going to medical school their, I'm like get into GWB's Skull and Bones club! Connections...

Check out this tracking info!

It was supposed to be here 4 days ago. Most likely lazy customs agents though. I've been pretty happy with UPS, I prefer FedEx though. Don't even get me started on the USPS, they really suck!

I've had bad experiences with them all. DHL lost my recaro's for a few days, and fed-ex destroyed a perfect blue w123 dash and claimed it was my fault. Despite this, I still go with fedex as they have been perfect on all other occasions.

I had brake pads shipped UPS, and I needed them by the day they said it would come. The tracking showed it delivered when I got home - to no package. I looked at the address delivered, and they sent it to the Victoria's Secret warehouse here in Columbus. I called UPS, which has no option on their 800 # to talk to a person, and no option to report a package delivered to the wrong place. I had to guess to press 0 a ton of times. Then they tell me, they'll get it back to me whenever VS opens their semi full of packages, checks it, and sends it back to UPS.

I went up to Sparks and got the package today. I wanted to go off on the clerk, but I knew it wasn't his fault I had to go up there, so I held my tongue. I thought about having it shipped to my work once I found out they wouldn't deliver at the time I requested, but I haven't talked to my boss about that to see if that's ok. I had something shipped to a previous job once without asking, and the shipping manager was NOT happy with me.

The mail room manager at work and I are old friends. Grew up a block from each other. I have all kinds of stuff shipped there whenever possible. Even had a radiator and a hood pad shipped there. Those are big boxes! Only issue is some credit card companies will give them a hard way to go. You have to set up an alternative ship-to address with the CC co.
