They claim to have attempted delivery on one other, but there was no note, somebody was home, and they successfully delivered another package the same day. I had one of the shippers try and put a trace on one of the packages, and they told him they tried to call me about it but nobody answered. They had my cell phone number, and it didn&#8217;t ring, there was no voice mail, nada.<\/p>\n<p>UPS is as bad as Howard Dean. I know that&#8217;s harsh, but this behavior is unacceptable. FedEx Ground is cheaper and it works, so no more of this crap.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: There&#8217;s nothing like whining. They delivered all five packages today after I told them I&#8217;m going to the web.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What the hell has happened to UPS?
