[Elecraft] UPS UK - watch out

[Dave, G4AON]

UPS emailed to say my shipment from Elecraft had arrived at East 
Midlands Airport and that tax was payable on it. I duly phoned them and 
paid the tax. When the parcel arrived it was marked "COD" and the driver 
couldn't ascertain if the payment had been made or not, neither could 
his office. Unfortunately I had written the payment reference on scrap 
of paper and left it at behind at another house. The house was less than 
two miles away but the driver refused to wait while I collected it and 
said he would only deliver the parcel again if I could quote the payment 
reference number.

I had previously had good service from UPS, unfortunately they are now 
next to bottom on my list of shipping companies (Parcel Force are at the 
bottom).
