[QUOTE="USPS rocks!, post: 274550"] I live in a reasonably large city in Canada (Edmonton, pop. 830,000) and I get a lot of stuff off ebay. I've had three 'encounters' with UPS and will no longer bid/buy from an ebay seller if they offer no option to UPS delivery. When I call the number to tell them I'll pick the package up, they say they'll hold it no problem. I get to the counter (one in a city of this size) the next day, only to be told it's on the truck while the driver makes another attempt. That's what the phone call was for! This happened TWICE with one package and once with another, about a month later. Add on to this all the time spent waiting in line while 20-30 people in front of me were having similar problems and it makes for a pretty aggravating ride home (with no package). The third time they got it right but I just waited until all the delivery attempts were made so that I knew it would be waiting in the warehouse....big waste of everyone's time and effort there, but at least I didn't make a wasted trip or two out to the depot. It may be a good company in the US, but up here it sucks big time. USPS/Canada Post all the way, baby!!!! I will never, ever use this company again....that's what a bad experience will do for business. Brown is brown for a reason......what's that smell? [/QUOTE]
