Re: [DL] Shipping notice [SHANE] - ot now

["bruce boragine" <gamr4evr@bellsouth.net>]

well true the tracking is for delivery confirmation.. not true tracking like
express. where it gets scanned everytime it's touched.. but ups's system
isn't exact either.. supposed ta be.. and almsot cost me a harddrive and a
radar dectector.. had both returned on 2 differnet times to manufactuerer..
system showed it got sent but that's it.. had no info.. about amonth later
got a credit on my charge card fer radar detector, finally arriving..and 4
weeks after harddrive return a note from company saying they got it....

just an fyi.. ups has stated, publiclly, it only wnats to handle all
business ta business mail.. letters, bills, packages et c.  what they doing
now is not making enuff $..

it's 1 of the big reasons they paying fer all the push in congress to
privitise the post office..
also if post office picks up packages at u office, charge is fer per pick
up, not per pickup and per piece like ups... also po don't charge a per
month billin fee like ups..

i lerned alot form ex-ups customers while ups was on strike..  post office
gained some change over bussiness  from it..  :-)) but, man, car radiators
is heavy...;-))

i just received an order from peg, via ups.. it took 2 weeks to get and was
left out in the yard..i'm glad it didn't rain today, or my sprinklers come
on. woulda been a heckuva a way for books and the lithograph.  i was given
noway to track it and the email notice i received as order confirmaion said
'4-6 weeks shipping'.


Whenever we ship an order (domestic) we enter the customer's email, and the
computer automatically sends a tracking number. If you didn't get a tracking
number, then either we entered your email incorrectly (certainly possible),
or it bounced on your end (which happens all the time--especially from
Hotmail and Yahoo).



the price of shipping was  double that of priority mail; which  for a
whopping 35 cents more could've  been tracked.


A) But tracking at the post office was only added fairly recently, and we
are actually looking into shipping. But I was told by our Postmaster that
the PO tracking only said when it left and when it was delivered. UPS tracks
every routing point in between.



ups does have international shipping, by the way.. but it's more than double
thei regular price, and doesn't go to every country.. something about ups
not wanting to share the profits with the host country..



Which is why we don't use it. Plus, UPS may deliver to particular companies,
but they don't deliver to all locations in those countries. Just like FedEx
actually *doesn't* guarantee all destinations in the US (Honesdale, PA, for
example).
