There seems to be a pattern emerging here. I sent some boards by UPS from Indiana to Pittsburgh. A week later a company in NEW JERSEY tells me they have my boards there, with no idea what to do with them. I call UPS, and spend about half an hour convincing them how badly they screwed up and to pick up the boards and deliver them to the right place this time. The only thing they could thing of doing was picking up the boards, returning them to me, and having me pay again to deliver them once again. Ten days later I call to check on progress - and my boards are STILL SITTING ON THE DOCK IN NEW JERSEY! The above routine is repeated once again. Cutting a long story short, my boards eventually arrive in Pittsburgh more than five weeks after they were sent. Not a single apology or explanation from UPS at any stage. The incompetence was staggering, and has caused me massive inconvenience. I have vowed never to use UPS again, and would urge anyone else who cares about their stuff or their time to do the same. At least, if you do use UPS, bear in mind what might happen and how blithely UPS will screw you around when they do fuck up. Tim van Gelder
