Luck you .... It's to far from the street in front of my house for the UPS to come to my door so he just tosses in my yard !!! Hell it's only 75 feet but he can't take the time to walk it ... Dick heads ...

Hey Bawls, let me know the header weight if you get a chance!
Those other weights you posted were for the Shortmeg, correct?

Did you ship to a residence or place of business? If residence, it will be early evening before you get a delivery, they deliver residential packages last. Business deliveries and pick-ups come before residential (they make more money, plus businesses have certain times they must deliver i.e. Receiving Hours are 8:00 am to 4:00 pm)
Give the UPS guy a little break. I worked there for six years and let me tell you these guys are busting their butts. The trucks were loaded so full that we always used to say "It's like stuffing ten gallons of shit into a five gallon bucket!"

I work for FedEx so no breaks here! But I can't honestly say that it would be any different with us. God help us if they figure out how to just drop it from the freaking plane!

I would rather push a FEDEX truck to destination with my package in it than ship it through UPS

A few of my buddies are UPS delivery guys. They have a 32 second time they have to average on deliveries. Also as far as commercial vs. residential..they have specific drivers for each types of routes ie. commercial drivers..residential drivers that have specifically residential routes or specifically commercial routes.

My ups driver is great, he'll stick my package behind the house out of view, give treats to the dog & even tell me what a bitch his soon to be ex wife is. It's just like old home week. They still drop kick the pkg. before it gets here though.
