Think that's bad? When you ship a package with UPS not much reason to bother
with priority shipping, because there is NO guarantee that it will get there
unless both the shipping and receiving address are "commercial" addresses.
Residential based businesses don't count. Took me a week and a half to get
an overnight package from UPS once when I was housesitting for my folks. UPS
considers the road they live on to be "low volume" and lets a few packages
build up for the area until they'll deliver. When I called to complain that
I had paid for extra for overnight shipping, the "no guarantee for
residential addresses" was the reply I got, and that from their manager.
