UPS are a bit shit.
Was expecting a package today, to be delivered by UPS. Three packages, in fact. I had a tracking number and, until noon, it said "Delivery estimate 10 A.M. - 12 Noon". After midday that estimate changed to the disconcertingly vague, "Later today". Two hours later Susan, by chance, saw the delivery guy dropping packages on our doorstep. "He's here!" she cried out. Odd, I thought. He didn't knock. I was under the impression I was supposed to sign for these. I go to the door. Two packages. I wait for him to return with the third package and his little electric pen, but instead I hear the van start and drive away. We run out into the road to watch him disappear over the other side of the hill. The hell? You certainly did, guys... I put in the the tracking number on the UPS website. "Delivered". "Would you like to see a picture?" I look at the picture: there are two packages on my doorstep. I already knew that. I look at the boxes...
