UPS can deliver.
I read a thread a while ago from someone who was unhappy with the service he got from UPS.
In the interests of fair play I want to say that I ordered some bits and pieces for my 14 from Schnitz Racing which were sent off on Tuesday. They were delivered today, Thursday and I live in the UK.
Not much wrong with that !

Now be fair, those custom charges don't go into their pockets. It's the ability to get something from half-way around the world delivered to your door in two days that impressed me. Of course they aren't cheap and we all have to pay our taxes.

I send parts and receive parts from all over the world and i can say i will never Use UPS again. they charge a brokerage fee that is out of this world. they leave your parcel at the door when no one is home. etc i could go on with this i have found the regular post works better no brokerage Fees.

UPS seems to leave my packages by the front door- no signature or nuthin'! Even when I specifically request the shipper ship "signature required", but hey I appreciate them toting the stuff around the nation for me hehe

problem is, with this kinda of thing especially, doing it right sometimes isn't good enough. it has to be done right ALL the time. the fraction of packages UPS has screwed up for bikeland is WAY beyond acceptable.
