The UPS guy we used to have when I worked elsewhere would drop my packages of at my job instead of at my place whenever I got something. Then he would sit around and bs for a while before he left. He was probably the best delivery guy they've had. All they do now is throw the package on your step, hit the doorbell, and run.

Y'all have better UPS guys than I do. I'm lucky they get it on the sidewalk, much less under the porch roof and a doorbell push.

One time, I had a package sit in a flower bed under a bush for 2-3 days. UPS kept claiming it had been delivered AND SIGNED FOR when I knew no such thing had happened. When I finally found it, I took pictures showing where it was and the scrape marks on the packaging showing how it had slid across the gravel before coming to a stop under the bush. Even had gravel in the box bottom side. The driver apparently just chunked it out the door while passing through my circular driveway.

Being the south end of a north bound mule, I went to the UPS office in the town where it came through and showed the manager the pictures. I demanded to be shown the "signature" of who signed for it and he claimed it was not retrievable. I then told him his driver was a lying sack of male bovine defacatory material and that he was trying to cover for his driver. I demanded a refund for the expedited shipping fee and when he balked, I just asked "Do you REALLY want me to go to the TV stations with this? My request has just gone up to full shipping fee refund. Wanna try for legal fees, too?" I was quickly issue my shipping refund.

Thanks bud,

And yea, your lucky if they even ring your doorbell. I have found a box from USPS inside my recycling bin on my porch mixed with trash.... I have also seen a USPS woman literally throw my box onto my steps from several feet away and hope back in her van and keep going.. I reported her, and i dont see her anymore either.

Another USPS guy was carrying too many things on his person one day so he decided to leave 5 or 6 boxes on the sidewalk at the corner of the block... Just left them there.. I wasnt expecting any deliveries that day, but because i get a LOT of deliveries i asked him why he would do that... And his exact answer was he didnt feel like walking back and forth to his van...

Now we have 1 USPS delivery guy that comes down this route that is just awesome. Me and him are decent buddies, I have met up with him for a few beers after he got off for work a couple times... When he works i always invite him in and give him a bottle of water or a cold pepsi or something.... This guy is great. He has came back after 6pm to bring me boxes that showed up at the end of the day and was meant for the next days deliveries... But if he knows im waiting on something specific he is a champ about getting it to me.... Only problem is he takes more vacation time than anyone i ever heard of. He gets a pension.. Or some other type of set income and works as more of a "hobby" to stay busy.... I wish he worked EVERY day.

My mail call was pretty awesome today too. Got my 45 ton ironworker delivered today. What sucks though is I have to assemble it.......... that will take a forklift. The head unit is 750 lbs.

Three men, a boy and a mule should do the trick quite well.

Mail call was awesome today. One came USPS, the other came UPS... I had already got the USPS delivery and left the house and started walking to get my daughter from school and was a half mile from my house when the UPS driver pulled over to the side of the road to deliver my package to me... Just awesome. He knows me pretty well so when he seen me walking he just stopped the truck and handed it to me... AWESOME.

Heh,

I can just picture Woody running through the house and out the door Billy Madison style. But instead of chanting "nudie magazine day!" more like "New knife in the mail day!". I do the same thing when I get them :D. Its like a slice of Christmas during the year.

Nice patina Auraria :thumbup:

LOL, and i have done that too on more than one occasion :D I just dont yell whats in the box.... Dont want these scalawags around here knowing i have a bunch of blades in here....

Normally I keep the door open just a little most every day so i can see when they drive up to start delivering the mail... I have thought a bunch about putting a little camera up on my porch too... But im worried it will be broke off or stolen by the hoodlums...

But i get a LOT of packages. From the knives and other crap i order for fun, to all the household and puppy items me and the wife order, plus i proxy knives for several guys in Australia... It adds up to a lot of boxes. So most days im watching for deliveries.
 
So me and my buddy just got back from hiking and having fun with the BK9. Needless to say he is a new beckerhead, the BK2 I just ordered from the gracious wildcat I told him will be his blade to use when we go out for fun.

I'll upload some images of our outing!

He was baffled at the Edge retention even after battoning and such.
He ran his finger across the blade and said verbatim 'Holy s#$t, after eating wood it still has that much of a bite?!'
 
James - you might let Miss Angie know there's a quart of pure maple syrup sitting on my kitchen table...
