I
Wouldn't
Trust
UPS
to
Deliver
the
Punchline
to
a
Knock-Knock
Joke.
The
package
was
dispatched
by
Express
delivery
(1
-3
working
days)
from
the
Netherlands.
I
got
an
email
from
UPS
on
the
2nd
day
saying
it
would
be
with
me
between
08:30
and
12:30
that
same
day.
I
later
got
an
email
saying
it
had
been
delayed
but
would
be
here
by
the
end
of
the
day.
OK,
I
thought,
these
things
happen.
It
didn't
turn
up.
This
morning
I
checked
the
tracking
number
and
it
was
shown
out
for
delivery
and
would
be
with
me
between
08:30
and
12:30
today.
A
little
while
later
I
got
another
email
saying
it
was
delayed
again,
but
this
time
no
further
details.
So,
I
rang
customer
dis-service.
I
explained
the
situation
to
their
rep
who,
after
putting
me
on
hold
for
what
seemed
like
an
eternity,
told
me
that
it
was
still
in
the
container
it
arrived
at
the
depot
in.
I
suggested
that
it
might
be
an
idea
for
someone
to
get
it
out
of
the
container
and
pop
it
into
a
delivery
van
so
they
could
do
what
they
had
been
paid
for.
"That'll
take
one
to
two
working
days",
he
said.
WHAT?!
An
item
that
is
at
the
delivery
depot
from
where
it
will
be
delivered
is
in
a
container
on
site
but
it
will
take
them
up
to
two
days
(on
top
of
the
time
they
should
have
delivered
it)
to
get
it
from
the
container
and
on
to
a
van
to
deliver
to
me!?
Really?!
So,
keeping
as
calm
as
I
could,
I
said
don't
bother,
it's
a
40-minute
drive,
I'll
just
pick
it
up
from
the
site.
"Fine",
he
said.
"That'll
take
up
to
two
days".
A
frustrating
conversation
later,
after
managing
to
keep
in
the
expletives,
I
told
them
I'd
be
there
for
it
today
and
it
had
better
be
ready.
So,
along
I
toddled
to
pick
it
up.
When
I
got
to
the
site,
there
was
a
sign
with
a
phone
number
to
ring
to
get
someone
to
come
out
to
you.
It's
an
old
number
that
doesn't
connect.
By
this
time
I
was
ready
to
explode
on
someone,
but
I
managed
to
stay
cool
until
I
saw
someone
and
shouted
them
over.
After
messing
around
for
20
to
30
minutes
they
eventually
found
my
package
and
I
was
able
to
bring
it
home.
One
thing
this
experience
has
shown
me
is
that
there
are
other
carriers
almost
as
bad
as
Hermes.
I
wouldn't
trust
either
to
deliver
a
letter
to
someone
who
stood
next
to
them,
UPS
has
revealed
how
utterly
incompetent
they
are.
I've
contacted
the
sender
to
let
them
know
how
poor
the
service
they
paid
for
is.
