When your package is shipped and your tracking number is assigned... you can actually call up FedEx and have them hold it at the location you mentioned below. Then you might be able to short-circuit the system and pick it up yourself.

I don't want someone signing for it and taking my stuff. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mick Maguire" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 8:47 AM Subject: This is why I hate Fedex > A while ago there was some discussion of the relative pro's and con's of > using Fedex UPS etc. this is why I hate Fedex... see: > > http://www.fedex.com/cgi-bin/tracking?action=track&language=english&cntry_co > de=us&initial=x&tracknumbers=752986015547 > > this is an order from B&H with some (Pentax) bits and pieces I need.
