[Elecraft] Elecraft UPS deliveries

[Don Wilhelm]

My UPS delivery time is normally quite consistent - between 12 and 12:30 
- so if we go out to lunch and errands (which is most every day) we will 
not be home when the UPS man arrives.
Fortunately, I have a waiver of signature and release on file, thanks to 
UPS MyChoice, so the driver leaves the parcels at the front door.   
There are times when the sender has explicitly required a signature, and 
that can cause a delay in delivery.
For USPS, the normal carrier and I have a similar arrangement - he also 
delivers in the 12 to 12:30 timeframe.  There are pre-signed delivery 
slips in the mailbox, and he leaves anything that cannot fit in the 
mailbox at the front door.

I have not been able to make similar arrangements with FedEx, so 
customers requiring a signature might encounter a day or two delay, but 
they do not deliver on any regular schedule.

I have between 3 and 8 parcel deliveries every week, so I do have more 
experience than most.  Yes, different areas may not be the same as I 
encounter, but both the UPS man and the USPS carrier know me well.
