Members Skr4ped Posted September 15, 2005 Members Share Posted September 15, 2005 I'm sure someone will back me up on this. UPS tracking is a great tool, to protect against getting scammed, and to know when to expect your package, but it's a double edged sword. I find myself checking the tracking number several times a day for no apparent reason. I have become it's slave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cloudnine Posted September 16, 2005 Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 Its better than USPS "tracking". My guitar was shipped from Portland to Megadeth7684 in PA - shipped on the 9th, didnt get on the site til late on the 10th, then no update from "Accepted at Location for Shipping" til "Delivered" today.

Members surge Posted September 16, 2005 Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 Whenever one of my packages is out for delivery, I always wait in the living room, and peak through the window at every car that passes. Stressful times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Romanian Reaper Posted September 16, 2005 Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 You know, I'm not even really happy when they deliver something because I'm expecting damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could get here at 5 in the morning, I can't get it until around 7 at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rayneman Posted September 16, 2005 Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 I work at home three days a week, and I always try to ensure my gear arrives on those days. My office is down in my basement, and while I can always hear the doorbell, for some reason I'm always paranoid that this particular day is the one where it ceases to function. As such, I actually test the doorbell at the front and back several times during those days. I refuse to even shower until the delivery arrives for fear of missing it. Mania.

My UPS guy always used to leave stuff at the door if no answered (he has also left it in my sisters car, when it was snowing, haha). Despite this fact, whenever I was home on delivery day I always made sure that between 1:00 and 6:00 I had nothing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CrashStitches Posted September 16, 2005 Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 This thread rules. I usually check tracking 3-4 times every day,a nd I'm always looking out the window whenever I see "Out For Delivery". We're sick people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zooey Posted September 16, 2005 Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 My deliveries often seem to repose at the local distribution center in the East Bay for days at a time.I could have walked there and picked it up faster than it would take UPS to get it the final 15 miles to my house.
