[Elecraft] K3 Shipped But Requires Signature!!!

[Don Wilhelm]

  It all depends on the driver.
Fortunately, I have a good one for UPS, and he knows me well.  He has to 
drive over 0.7 miles of unpaved road and then up my 1/4 mile driveway to 
get to the house, and he has never failed me.  He knows how to put any 
parcels in a safe place if I am not here.  Yes, I have signed a waiver 
of signature.
The USPS delivery person is very good too.
The FedEx drivers here are unpredictable, and always seem to arrive when 
I am away, so I get notes on the door from them.
DHL (when they were delivering here) was just awful - leaving parcels at 
the wrong address, or just putting them somewhere on the driveway.
So if you ship anything to me, use UPS or USPS for best results.
