well was at Tim Hortons for some lunch when i step out and see a couple UPS trucks in the lot (opposite sides)

and as im making a joke to a friend as to why his package didnt arrive yet cause there here eating donutes.

couple minutes later they pull up beside each other

then like a minute later a 3rd pulls into the parking lot and parks right beside them

i take a picture while repeating my joke and like not even 30 seconds after that another UPS truck comes barreling into the parking lot and slides and then backs up to them

so if your UPS package is late... chances are there at Tim Hortons for a very important meeting

I have decided that all life ceases to exist within 200 yards of a Tim Hortons.....No one works, pays attention or uses a signal light!!! I don't know what they put in their coffee but it makes everyone retarded when they get close to the mother ship......

in all my years of shipping stuff on UPS (I buy and sell fiat parts via ebay) I have only ever had one item damaged. In that case they alerted me before it got to the buyer, returned it to me, and after getting all my information, cut me a check for it's insurance value.

Fedup.. er ex.. I find just overpriced for that they do (though they will ship larger items than UPS) and they do not seem to run as smoothly. RPS.. they are a joke, usually takes a week longer. Never dealt with DHL

dhl isn't bad at all. i've shipped through and from them twice. ups i've never had bad experience, sometimes a little late hours like getting packages at 9pm but that's the one co. that knows how to do business. fedex is ok too, but i usually take ups because they're cheaper.

that's funny though. one of my good friends is a UPS guy and he says, "f*ck customers, it's just you and the truck"
