I see, UPS doesn't count weekends as days of service. Interesting, you would have thought the world came to an end, when USPS announced they were seeking an end to Saturday delivery. Interesting. So I guess "next day air" would have only been 3 total days. Pretty simple. When it absolutely, positively has to be there, as long as it's not the weekend. :) I'm just messing with the USPS haters out there, UPS is ok, for a weekday operation.

well if you paid for saturday service, you would have gotten it on Saturday.. before noon.. unless you live in the country, then its by 3 pm
UPS doesn't get all the " .gov" holidays, just the major ones...
Like I said before, your lucky they didn't audit your delivery... shipper would have ATF at the door... I'd keep it on the down low in the future...

it has nothing to do with ATF, its UPS internal rules to make more money for next day air. And even then, you can't drop it a "UPS store", you have to take it to the customer service counter they have hidden behind their main facility on S. Portland. My ex step son works there, like I said, they are ok. He told me about a box of guns breaking open one night on the conveyer belt. Another OSA'er used to work there and told me about an MP5 shipment being sent as a regular package one night that got everyone excited one night at the hub. We all have our issues, I just thought the 4 day 2 day air was entertaining. Now that I know they only deliver 250 days out of 365, I will know what to expect in the future. Gotta go, I think I just saw the UPS truck drive by my house after dark again. :) That guy needs a surefire light or something, he's gonna hurt himself in someone's yard.

Umm, just because UPS also sucks doesn't mean USPS doesn't suck (also).

FedEx or bust.


DHL is virulently anti-gun, and USPS and UPS are incompetent.

I knew Dr. Tad would chime in. :) Welcome to the rant. FedEx, you mean the ones that drop their mail at USPS for delivery because they dont' go to every house 6 days per week either?

actually the fedex guy that brought my Dillon 650 to me one day was pretty good. There's some old guy on here with a big mustache that works at the airport fedex facility that might chime in as well. Curly? Where are you?

hidden?? you mean since galleria furniture opened up??? can't you read the signs??

make more money for NDA... ok.. funny stuff... Internal UPS policy will also consult ATF if rules are broken, don't hate the game so to speak....
I keep hearing about that german post office thing... that went great...

I have the surefire, but as in another thread, prefer the Fenix.. and damn.. I wish you all would take your work back, I hate working in the dark and you guys keep getting off at two...
