Thank you oldfogey. It's funny how I've gotten infractions for censored out language but people making multiple irrelevant posts and personally attacking me don't get any infractions :jerkit:
By the way, for the record:

I see whats going on. You needed the knives to arrive on the MLK Holiday because you were home alone from school. Now your moms going to intercept your knives and take them away. Bummer dude.
This is a warning to everyone.
Knock it off.
There isn't any reason to insult the OP, nor is there any reason to continue this nonsense.
Hmmmmmmmm...Don't get me started on UPS.
UPS's tracking system is a joke. Their system was designed in the 1950s before the idea of tracking was even conceived of. FedEx came on the scene with an ultramodern, bar-coded, computer-based tracking system and just blew UPS out of the water. UPS paniced and cobbled on this kluge they call tracking. UPS knows when your package crossed a major point in their system, when it entered one of their terminals, etc. But, they don't even know that until twenty-four hours later. That's not tracking.
Fed Ex can tell you where your package is at any moment, they can give you the GPS coordinates of it. Years ago, when airplane tickets were still paper, I was Fed Exed a ticket on Monday morning for a flight on Tuesday evening. It was very important that I make this meeting. I knew the tickets were coming, and so I stayed home Tuesday morning. But, the Fed Ex man came while I was letting my brother's dog who was staying with me at the time, out. I found the "we will deliver tomorrow" tag on the door hours later. I called the 800 number and the operator said, "Let's take a look... ah, your package is currently stopped at the light at 4th and Washington."
"Can I meet him somewhere, sometihing... I need those tickets."
"One moment, please.... I have just spoken to your driver, he will swing back and deliver the package in about an hour and twenty minutes."
And it was an hour and twenty-two minutes later that I had my package.
That's tracking.
UPS on the other hand? They are the masters of the "drop and dash." I don't know how they do it. I hear the bell, I run for the door (ten seconds, max) and there's the package sitting on the steps and the UPS truck is three blocks down the road already. And if the package requires a signature, then all you get is a chit saying we'll repeat this exercise ("Catch me if you can") tomorrow.
