[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 343939, member: 12570"] I had an obviously expensive pkg for a dumpy apt complex and the consignee was not home and there was no way I was going to indirect it so I left a notice with my cell and the center number. The consignee called the toll free instead, the OMS sent me a message to put the pkg on hold, I called her and asked her to call the consignee to tell her that I would be at her door in 2 minutes. Short story, consignee happy, no send again. I should add that our center is kind of in the middle of nowhere so it is a pain for consignees to come and p/u pkgs. I also had 2 potential send agains, 1 need apt # and the other a sig req, and I was able to reattempt and get rid of both thanks to my cell. My route is fairly dense with the furthest points less than 10 minutes away from each other so this affords me the luxury of being able to do this. I have posted before about how effective a cell phone can be. Well, I had a situation where I did all that I could to save time and it still didn't matter. I had a COD for a pizza shop and I called the owner early hoping that I would have a check waiting for me as I deliver that area during lunch. I gave him all of the information and asked him to please have a check ready but I got there and it was like it was the first that he had heard of the pkg. I spent 5 minutes at that stop where I should have been in and out in 30 seconds and been on my way. I used to eat there about once a week but now will dine elsewhere if he can't be bothered.
