What? UPS has to step up their handling of fragile materials? Why do they have to do that when Congress is stamping out their competition for them?

You mean USPS? UPS has their own competition (DHL, FedEx).

Actually, if I remember correctly, Congress is strengthening the unions behind FedEx, making their prices slowly go up. UPS remains cheaper because of this. And since they're cheaper, people go to them. That and word is that UPS lobbyists are dealing with congressmen behind closed doors for more advantages.

Did not know that. That's interesting to know. Personally, I do not like UPS because it takes 5 business days to ship when I buy from businesses that uses UPS. My CCom packages come via Priority Mail and I get it within two business days.

The other thing that bothered me is Andy was cool enough to hook up second day air. It got to Minneapolis (10 mins from my house!) then goes to Egan(20 mins from my house) sits 3 days Then to a hub a half hour away when they drive from eagan to the other hub they go right past my house! And I wait another day!

UPS ....... BLOWS. I have got a few things through them in the recent months.... every On of them had box damage.... I track it.. It sits no less than 3 days in a HUB on the coast then comes back to sacramento and sits another day or two then comes to folsom. Its BULLSHIT....... I NEVER USE THEM and I advise anyone Im dealing with to use the Post office....... UPSDHL .. they are all in the crapper

While it may have been mishandling, I received a box of diesels and the package was totally intact and it too had the bottom fall out. Might be something with the Diesel UC boxes as well.
