Hmmm, UPS tick me off for another reason.  They are part of a growing
crowd of speeders.  There seems to be some sort of competition
between couriers to see how fast they can go down my road... if I get
a registration number it goes straight to the police.

Now THERE'S a racket if I ever saw one!  That's a game UPS plays
with stuff coming into Canada...  charge 'em a $35 "brokerage fee"
for an item valued at $100.  When I complained, the UPS clerk
says, "Fine, don't pay us.  We'll just sell your camera."
