Default NOT pleased

So.............just checking up on our package. In fact, I even called UPS to make sure it would be gettin' there on time. When I call UPS, the tracking folks indicate next day express delivery is not available!!!

I recall checking if next day express End of Day was available when we started this order, and my UPS store yesterday indicated next day express end of day was available and that is what I paid for (paid A LOT for).

I check again online, and now it say only 2 day arrival..........my UPS store's computer days one day is possible...........

My UPS store just called back and said the package will be there by the end of the day...........

So group order - is next day express availabe to Campbell River???

Hmm, through Purolator I get stuff overnight. Not sure about UPS, I try not to use them as they suck here. The last shipment I almost didn't get before a long weekend I had to call the main office to track it down, finally got here at 6:30pm on a friday. I think it just rode around on a truck all day and they figured they could deliver it whenever

Every electronic component is shipped with smoke stored deep inside.... only a real genius can find a way to set it free.

I remember that night UPS managed to come through though, I am hoping that happens again today! If not, I will be concerned about the SPS.

I dont get how a company can charge for a service (overnight delivery) if it isnt even available at the destination location?

Did you take the box's in person to UPS when you shipped them?

It DOES suck having to sit home for one day waiting on a package, then when it turns into 2 days.. its double suck. You guys owe Sarah big time!
