Sharon,
I don't agree about UPS being geared for better service to large
businesses, UPS does all they can to help us. We live in a "town" of
323 people and our county is bigger than the state of Rhode Island, with
a population of only 15,000 and they come right to our door every night
to pick up packages, even if we only have one, no problem. They do what
they can to help THIS small business.
And they don't hold packages (in our experiences), you can track them
yourself on the internet to see when they leave or arrive, each step of
the way. Scanning of the packages tells the story and doesn't lie.
Each box has to have a bar code on it and if you want, you can see where
it is every day of its' journey.
Not wanting to continue to beat a dead horse, but I just didn't agree
with your above statements. But as you say, maybe UPS service is better
in California than New Mexico and maybe the PO is better in New Mexico
than California. As long as the boxes get there and the customer is
happy. :-)
