[Hallicrafters] Shipping radio sets via UPS

[Barry Hauser]

While we're at it ... here's another one and it's in play right now.

There's an SP-600 on it's way to me, well, anyway it's trying.

Overall UPS has been pretty good to me.  Heaven knows I paid them enough.
 Delivery timing has been right on schedule in 99% of the cases, but this
one is a duesy.

This SP-600 was shipped Friday before last and should have arrived last
Friday -- one week coast to coast.  However, early on it didn't look so
good.  The shipment (from Anaheim) was routed through Syracuse -- out of
the way for a NYC metro destination.  Most shipments come to me by way of
the Meadowlands or Parsippany NJ.  

So that added 1 day delay -- 3 with the weekend.  As of Friday it finally
reached Parsippany -- that's the good news and in place for a Monday
delivery.  Bad news is that 45 minutes later it was on a trailer bound
for Jacksonville FL and that's where it's going as you read this.  I
first noticed the misrouting about 3 hrs after it happened, but it
wouldn't have helped even if I saw it 2 minutes later.  Can't be turned
around until it gets to Jacksonville first.

Had a shipment disappear for a month once.  But other than that, they've
been OK.
