[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4109804, member: 76548"] Your post makes it seem like you're confusing BrownCafe for Upsers.com...this might not be the actual case, and only how the wording in your post makes it seem, but I figured I'd point it out just in case. This is BrownCafe, and as it says in big letters at the top of every page, it's not sponsored by UPS. There's no affiliation at all, outside of the fact that most of us who post here work at UPS. Upser.com is an official site of ups, and you will not be able to log on if you're not an employee, or you're having certain issues with your employment. That aside, It sounds to me, like they think you gamed the transfer system, and they're not too keen on giving you another one. I dunno if that's the case, but that's what it seems like. Perhaps you should go into your old building and talk face to face with the center manager, explain the situation, and maybe he can help you get the ball rolling with a few phone calls to the right people and a personal backing of your story/character. Maybe get the union involved, or ask them where, or to whom, you can escalate this to get results. Seems like one of those deals where nobody wants to make a decision that might end up being the wrong one, so they're giving you the run around in the hopes that you just give up, and they won't have to figure out the solution to a very uncommon issue on their own. Here's a tip that can avoid all of this next time you decide to uproot the family and move: Know what you're getting into, and concentrate on the details - ALL of them :censored:s too, because you obviously didn't consider hardly anything before you packed up the wife and kid, and steered the family truckster onto the highway towards Norwalk, CT this time. You didn't even know about the requirements and/or schedule of the class you went there for - how little research did you do? That, combined with the fact that you didn't look into the cost difference in the insurance co-pay, for the medical services your family apparently use often enough that the $40 cost per visit is a huge a factor in where you will choose to live, leads me to believe this was a spur of the moment choice to move somewhere for a change of scenery, or at least a very poorly thought out decision with some selfish undertones. Undertones that made you overlook or fail to investigate other info that should have been part of the deciding factors on whether you moved for a transfer, or stayed put, like it appears would've been your best bet in this case to begin with. Should have done your homework, and you wouldn't be in this situation. You're looking to place blame on other parties, and I'm sure that while they probably could've been a bit more helpful or informed in certain ways, the bulk of the blame is squarely on your shoulders. Take this as a lesson learned for the next time when you're making big life decisions, and plan them out to both their logical and illogical conclusions, and decide from there what you can live with or not, then make the call.
