Hi all -
I am greatly enjoying everyone's tales of woe with
government mail services - sharing the burden of a
frustration does make it lighter - sometimes there
really is nothing one can do but laugh.
But I am wondering, is UPS better?

Not particularly. A few years ago I bought a share of one of Michael

whenever I did in the more remote past within the last two years or so,

Thanks for the information. I have regularly been
experiencing late delieveries with international
mailings of my book Man and Impact in the Americas
when shipping via USPS, so this information is quite

I hope I won't have a story to add here, but I might have one in the
