    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I almost just got a part time job Handling Special packages like Animals,Jewelry ETC..
I started think that I could not take that job because I would have nobody to blame when I screwed somethin up like a typical UPS Employee!

:iagree:
I can't even count the number of times the UPS folks didn't even bother to ring the door bell, like it's too difficult or something. One time they didn't ring the bell and left a note saying they were there and I was not... :notallthe Then there were the gifts I received that were mysteriously opened... guess the person wasn't interested in the giant monarch butterfly flapping mobile my friend from Albany sent me for my birthday one year. :rofl: Or my mom's rings she sent off from Walmart (she was the manager of jewelry) to be resized that disappeared in shipment with UPS, who btw, had no idea what could have happened to her parcel. :rolleyes: :icon_bs: Okay, rant over with!
 
I worked there for 10 years and I will not do business with that company. I worked in the building loading and sorting packages for 5 years then I became a delivery driver and did that for 5 years. It was the most corrupt company I have ever worked for. Their management is the scum of the earth. There's a few good ones don't get me wrong. I worked in the Omaha NE hub and there have been managers who were caught bringing their personal cars on the secure property and stealing packages. There were also others who were caught putting shipping labels on packages redirecting them to their own homes. When I worked there I wouldn't even ship through them.
 
I'm not saying fedex is better, or that it doesn't happen there. I just know first hand that it HAS happened at UPS. I do like UPS's service. They get things where they need to be on time almost all the time. I have personally never had a problem when someone has sent stuff to me via UPS. I just don't use them because I know how things are done there.

This is very similar. I have a friend who works for a local budweiser distribution company(beer delivery). He delivers to bars and restaurants. He has told me were not to eat because he sees the kitchens and how clean they are with the unseen areas of the facility. It's just the same with me and UPS. I have seen how it's done where most don't get to.
