There are two types of people who ship things by UPS;
Those who have had problems.
And those who will.
I'm on a rant.

Two words: FedEx Ground
They rule! Much faster then UPS or USPS and much cheaper. When I
shipped some rear louvers for a Mk1 USPS wanted >$40, FedEx Ground
charged $6 and delivered it 15 hours later.
I've never had any problems with UPS or USPS, I have had nothing but
problems with Airborne......

This is just a warning to you to avoid UPS at all costs when shipping
something time sensitive. If you ship something 2 or 3 day select, it
really means 3-4 day as they don't count the day it got dropped off,
no matter what time it was dropped off. For me, I've been lucky to get
packages at all, let alone on time. I thought it was just my location
and that they were lazy bastards, but it turns out the problem is UPS
as a whole. They are the most unreliable shipping company by far. Part
of the problem is they wait to ship the package. If you order 3 day
service, they will hold it until they think the timing is right to get
it there right on the 3rd day. For example, my package is going to sit
at the transit center that delivers to my area all day because it's
not due until tommorrow. I'm just venting so I apologize, but I can't
count how many times they've fucked me over. ARGH!!!!
