Re: [RANT] UPS Delivers My Packages To Next Door Neighbor House
said by Harddrive  :sorry to tell you this but your regular driver is on vacation. Did you look-up the schedule for this area driver? So who's this driver the backup? They need to keep this guy then. |

| nope. didn't have to. my brother-in-law used to work for UPS. you have 'floater' drivers that take up the route when your usual driver goes on vacation.

How do you know it's not the regular driver he could have got replaced? This guy looks like the same guy that kept dropping off the packages next door. Just have to see if you're right?

Yantic is the Native American name for that settlement, taken from the name of the river.

2 edits | Well a few minutes ago I got a ring at the backdoor bell, and looked out front and their was the brown truck from UPS. I didn't recognize the UPS driver. He told me I had to sign for some stuff. I said boy your early. Are you my regular UPS driver? He told me no but he wish he could have this route. He was mostly use where he is needed to be. I guess with all the complaints on this route they had to bring in someone else. I had asked him if he was a floater he had said no! Anyway I had 5 packages large and small from Newegg, QVC and HSN still good service with a smile! |

Well I look for bargains and so does the wife. I normally don't buy large ticket items. QVC, HSN and ShopNBC offer flex payments so you can have that large HDTV right now and only pay less than $200 for it. I got more packages from QVC today. You should check out the prices you and your buddies that drive the UPS truck. Netbooks for $199, LCD HDTV for $129 FS on top of that. Look at DELL HOME they had a 60" Sharp Aqua for $2,999 and it was reduced to $1,199. Going to be crazy this week and next. So the economy is lousy but the deals are insane! |

Yes Amazon is going crazy on these Netbooks and so is Target has them for $199 plus tax. Where as Amazon free shipping and no tax but promo codes take off $20, $25 or $30 bucks off the already reduce price sticker. I did that on Saturday. |

The deal on DELL HOME for 60" LCD HDTV for $1,199 instead of $2,999 was a good deal only lasted for 1 hr online, with free shipping you still have to pay for tax though. |

Hot deals are Netbooks, Laptops, HDTV etc. Then online stores are marking stuff wrong and if you act quick you can get it for the wrong price before they figure out the mistake. |
