You must have been crying... UPS sucks, their workers
suck too. We wwere on a fruit of the month club. well
two months in a row orur box came opened with some of
the fruit gone. We waited the third month. The guy has
the opened package in his hand and tossed an apple
core on the lawn while we watched! The fruit that
month was apples... We call the fruit company up and
they switch us to Fed Ex. No probs since. I always go
Priority Mail or Fed Ex since the USPS, despite its
hit or miss with regular mail, has been unfailingly
good with Priority Mail at least for me. My father's
lawfirm sends a lot of documents Express Mail out of
the hundreds sent not one hasn't arrived on time.
