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.

My front door is perhaps 35 feet from the street, and the common practice here,
for both Fedex and UPS, is to leave the package on the doorstep, unless a signed
reciept is requested.

Other than the boat cover, I've never known of anything not to arrive or to get
stolen from my porch.

I just ask the delivery folks to rearm the claymores when they leave. No
problem.

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.

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

The Corp I worked for frowned on personal shipments coming through our
receiving dept.
With about 350 local employees at that time, I can see their point.
My son works at a company with approx the same manpower........... I'd guess
their shipping/receiving dept would have the same policy.
With only 13 employees and you taking care of front counter annd
shipping/receiving, I guess you call the shots.....Big Shot!

The company I work for has over 1000 employees but only about 300 here
in the corporate office. They have no problem with that. They also
have no way to tell if it's a personal shipment or not. I get mail and
boxes all the time. If it's from Cabelas, no one cares! We don't have
a "front counter" so you must be confused.

It's says 13 employees.
