[Elecraft] Elecraft UPS deliveries

[Chuck Smallhouse]

I try and use USPS when ever possible as they certainly need the 
business !  We have a very friendly and obliging village PO, best 
that I've ever used.  They don't delivery to my address either, as 
it's probably not cost effective to go up a half mile of rutted dirt 
road, but instead, they give me a free large sized PO box .  Their 
Flat Rate, Priority service is both inexpensive (relative), with free 
containers and quite fast.  The only problem is if my package doesn't 
fit in my box or the lobby boxes are full, I have to pick up, only 
when they are open.  Fortunately it's on my way when I need to go to town.

I found out that the UPS drivers are on contract and have to 
periodically bid for their route.  I had one driver that became a 
good friend, after I pulled him out when he slipped off of my icy 
road.  He came to my door with 'good news' and 'bad news'.  "I have a 
package for you, however I slipped off the road a quarter mile down 
below !  Can you try and pull me back on the road, so I can deliver it ?"
