Subj : piano, LPs, Clive Cussler To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Tue Oct 06 2020 10:19:00 Hi Daryl! BM> I'd be sticking with FedEx then. ...What happens if you as the shipper BM> has great luck with them but the recipient has had horrible luck??!! DS> I likely will stick with them...but unless there's a weather DS> delay or other issue, the package usually gets there when DS> promised...at least with FedEx. Over the years I have had a few day delays from UPS but has also either due to nasty weather or truck issue, and was notified via e-mail (I am signed up for notifications). And to be fair the other way, I have had deliveries at 8 and 9 at night. BM> I did a quick on-line search and it seemed more logical to ship _to_ a BM> Post Office address than a residential, much less not: docking BM> facilities, clustering (several drop-offs in the same area as opposed BM> to residential being scattered). DS> Agreed. That's where I have shipments sent now, and I pick them DS> up at the Post Office during regular business hours. Find it too difficult when they're closed, hmmm? > BM> As for the Glitter Bomb, saw Parts I and II earlier this year and :). BM> Also had seem some of it on a TV show and was disappointed in that BM> presentation. Was from the same as on YouTube, just made highly bland: BM> the glitter part was barely tossed as opposed to throughout the room, BM> the Fart Spray portion was more like hallitosis.... DS> Sounds like the TV show censored it. I thought it was better on DS> YouTube, even though some parts were censored (mainly the DS> profanity). Censoring the profanity is fine IMO; the TV segment edited things so it was more like Sparkle Poof 0.3, DS> At least UPS or FedEx packs the stuff for you...but, you have DS> to pay for the container and the labor. BM> Is some instances it would be worth it. DS> True...but the way they throw stuff around, you have to wonder. DS> The tagline below bears this out. DS> ... To Post Office: "Photos - Don't Bend", isn't a challenge. Simple: slip a steel sheet in the envelope! BM> Mine has received a few what are probably from political campaigns are BM> IIRC those are excluded from the registry. ...I've sometimes wondered BM> if being on the list _increases_ the calls? If the call originates BM> from outside the U.S. I don't think they're subject to our laws, and BM> here's a nice list of people! DS> If I don't recognize the number, I hit the red button. If they DS> leave a voicemail, I decide whether or not to return the call, DS> depending on the content. If they call right back, chances are DS> it's not a robocall. Good!
