AggieDave 6 #1 February 17, 2004 I wish that UPS had greater detail in their tracking details on their website. For instance, instead of just "arrival scan" and departure scan, I wish they'd have what the package is doing. Like sitting in the corner, getting thrown violently across the truck docks, or being loaded on a truck, etc. I guess I'm just a little impatient, since my new canopy is apparently sitting at some UPS facility in "ONTARIO, CA, US" having had only its "arrival scan" and nothing else added to the list.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #14 February 17, 2004 Bill, I for one would LOVE to see you do this. Actually, I'd like to see you do that to three different packages shipped the same method via UPS, FedEx and USPS, then you can graph and compare the data. That would make one hell of a report!
