A while back, if you'll recall, I'd ordered one and never recieved it.
UPS had
it 'tracked' to my porch, but I never saw it. And, I'd never had
anything stolen
from my porch that I know of.

Anyway, bottom line is that UPS honored the claim, paid the shipper, who
then
made and shipped a brand new boat cover. I'm a happy clam again.

Funny thing about those courier companies.
My son likes to order his electronics and computer upgrades over the
internet...lately dealing with NewEgg.
If I don't get right out at the first & only door buzz, the courier guy
will just leave the package on the front step and leave.
A bit foolhardy here, where the house is only 25 feet from the sidewalk
and the package would be in view of anyone walking by.
It's at the point that I have to hang around the house the day a package
is expected.

Should not live in such a criminal area.

With cable we get a lot of 'merican news up here....... don't talk to me
about criminals or whackos.


Yup they're everywhere. Specially in the cities. Put a planter or
something on your porch to hide the valuable packages behind so the
neighborhood riff raff don't see it.
