re: When did UPS just say frick it?

All of the carriers, ups, fedex, and usps are hit/miss depending on where you are. Where I am at, all three are really great at getting packages here faster than what is stated. I have had bad experiences with all of them depending where I was living or where I was shipping something to.

The worst experience I had was with ups though. Years ago when I was transferring to ULL from out of state at the last minute and needed to overnight my transcript to the admissions office. The package returned to the college it was sent from about two weeks later stating that the delivery location did not exist. The lady who was helping me at the local college felt bad for me and paid for it to be overnighted again out of her own pocket through fedex and it showed up the next day.
I was almost too late to complete enrollment because of that and because of convincing the people at ULL to accept an emailed copy temporarily. What fricking idiot at UPS was running a route in Lafayette and said that the location of the university didn't exist. Even if an address was wrong, it said University of Louisiana at Lafayette in the delivery details. Drop it at any desk with any person and it would have got to the right person eventually.... Instead... Nope, location doesn't exist. Wtf
