I don't know about the list (a newbie myself) but while UPS has always had
clean trucks they've also always
had issues with stuff getting lost or damaged somehow. Years ago I used UPS
to ship a printer of mine to Spain
for me. It came and sat in customs in Madrid for several weeks as their
"agent" ignored it completely. At last, the
customs people returned it to the USA where it sat in customs again for
awhile, this time in Tennessee. It took UPS
three and a half weeks to track my printer down when I approached them, at
which juncture they reshipped it to
Spain, using the same domestic agent (there), who brought it to me house
and had the sand asked me for extra
payment. I let my wife (Basque) handle that one. <g>
It's going on eleven years now and I've used Federal Express ever since.
Like I say, they haven't screwed up yet.

I am curious. I have only been a list member for about 11 months now
(anyone want to give me a nice OM lens for my 1 year anniversary?) and the
UPS thread seems to come up at least once a month or so. Has this been
the case going way back in time or is it only a recent issue?
