Good 'Ol UPS

[Unit 5302]

I ordered 256MB of SD 168pin RAM from a solid internet provider. They offered me free UPS Blue Two Day Air Delivery. They shipped out my RAM on Monday of the past week.

Since I live in Champlin, MN closer to Minneapolis than St. Paul, take a little look at how they routed my package.

Instead of doing what Fed Ex would have done, which is send the shipment Saturday Delivery to attempt to make as much of the wrong, right, they decided to take their time. Speaks volumes for the quality of service you get from UPS in my opinion.

ROUTED INCORRECTLY AT UPS FACILITY;PKG HAS BEEN REROUTED TO DESTINATION

(This is where they figured out the package was going in the wrong direction. You know, when they hit the coast of the US and couldn't possibly send it any further away from it's destination without going international!!!!)
