Mark:
  Since we both seem to present and expect courtious, fair, and honest 
treatment towards others, we would not have any problem dealing with each 
other as long as we could hand deliver whatever it was to each other and 
each be assured of a fair exchange.
  When we have to depend on a third party, the trust again must be mutual 
among all parties or things won't work.  In a perfect world, UPS would have 
all courteous employees and handle all our packages with care.  However, 
until they actually improve their methods, you have to plan your actions 
based on their worst performace if you hope to have any success using them.  
Expecting them to take reasonable and appropriate care of packages and 
hearing what they actually do are completely opposite views.  You have to 
pack your articles based on what they do rather than what you expect them to 
do.  But we do have the power of choice and if enough of us elect not to use 
them, maybe that will be the 'attitude adjustment' they need.

regards, pete
