Dunno why they won't deliver on Sat.

I've tried the "I'll pick it up from the Fedex office" option in the past - but given the location and traffic it's a 45 minute drive each way to the pick-up office, then typically a 45 minute to 1 hr wait for them to get their act together and find the package. If I really wanted to spend 2 to 3 hrs on picking something up, I'd usually just go to the store to buy it, rather than paying for home delivery that never happens.

Just doesn't work for me, so I stick with UPS. In approximately 14 years worth of pretty solid mail-ordering (usually 5 or 6 packages per week), UPS has only ever screwed up once for me. YMMV based on where you live, I guess, but for me BROWN is still a prefered option.

Strange the way they have different poilicies depending on the location. I've had Fedex deliver as late as 9:00 P.M. About two months ago, I had some Trim wheels and brakes coming via Fedex from GNM and I just missed the guy as he left the sticker on the door. It was a Friday and I really wanted to get them so I could fly on Saturday. When I checked my answering machine, the Fedex driver left a message with his cell# so I could call him and meet him to pick them up later if I wanted to or he'd be back on Monday. Fedex seems to work out better for me. I guess it just depends where you live. They did leave a video camera at my front door that needed a signature once. Sat there overnight as I was on vacation.
