Re: (erielack) Train List



I do apologize, I thought Walter was speaking of UPS. Other than that, what
I said was true. I've never had a problem with USPS, only with UPS. As a
matter of fact, the last time someone actually shipped me something using
UPS, it didn't even get sent to the right block on my street. No, it wasn't
just off by 100 either, totally different address, though the package was
properly addressed. Thankfully the people who received it were honest enough
to bring it to me. I guess agencies ahve their good and bad everywhere, use
whoever works best for you.
