[Elecraft] Elecraft UPS deliveries

[Doug Turnbull]

Dear OMs and Yls,
     I like UPS, their tracking is excellent but they do not always knock
when making a delivery and get a signature.    At 2:52 this afternoon, my
new KX3 was delivered to my brother's house in Connecticut.   I checked this
and called my brother who thought the package had not come but found it
outside his door when he looked.    He was home as was my nephew during the
delivery but the UPS man did not knock.    Tracking was superb but the final
step is sometimes not executed.    I have other friends in the USA who have
had similar difficulties with UPS.    Sometimes individual UPS drivers leave
very expensive parcels besides letter boxes on a busy road 150 yards from
the house.  This is not good enough with an expensive radio.   Buyer beware.


      I do find that UPS tracking on international shipments is superb and
have never experienced a problem with them.   If one ships overseas by USPS
it seems the tracking stops at the USA border and then sometimes one can go
to the domestic postal service for the country involved and type in the
original tracking number and follow their parcel in their home country.
How one does with a parcel travelling between European countries, I do not
know.
