Default Speaking of boat covers...

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.




Tell him to have them sent to his office. Why should you sit around
waiting for your son's packages to arrive?


The way we're working this...
he upgrades his computer and I get what he strips out....... a modest
upgrade for me.



That's fine. He can still take delivery of the new stuff at his
office. I do that all the time.
