[Elecraft] UPS Practice? was:Re: KPA1500 Caution

[Dave Sublette]

There is an APP that allows you to specify when you want your package
delivered by UPS.  Also, you might have been able to go to the UPS
distribution point in your area and pick it up, depending on what time of
day you got home, etc...  I have done this several times.

I know it is disappointing to miss a delivery, but the other fellow is
right.  I wouldn't want that beautiful amp to sit on my door step for
anyone to pick up when I'm not home.

73,
