Tom BoblittSorry to start another shipping thread......
I've had 2-3 board members ask me to track stuff for them over the last few months that were lost or late by UPS. In some cases, unfortunately, stuff has been lost by UPS (and I'm sure FedEx and USPS).
Anyway, one thing to help your package find you if it gets lost is to put an invoice or something on the INSIDE of the package in the event that the outer label gets torn off. I don't do this often enough myself but on big $$ shipments, be sure to put who it's from and who it's to on something INSIDE the package. That'll help UPS/FedEx/USPS figure it out......
Also, for UPS/FedEx, don't put brown paper on the outside of the box. Neither wants that. It can get caught on a belt and rip off and there goes your address label. The Post Office is okay with it but same can happen there.
Sorry I can't be more help to more people but stuff happens sometimes.........okay, begin the flaming of the shipping companies....
