So I spent the Memorial Day weekend in Moab.

But I was flying standby to get to Salt Lake to meet my friends and decided to ship my camping stuff via UPS so that I didn't have to schlep it through an airport or risk it not showing up when I did...lost luggage and all of that.

Buuuuuuut. UPS burned me. I shipped 2nd day air last Monday. The package arrived......yesterday. I had to go buy a new tent and sleeping bags and borrow a bunch of other stuff.

Very displeased with UPS.

Beyond that.....Moab rocked!

Jealous you went to Moab.

But that sucks about UPS. I don't think I would chance it, just for that reason.

UPS NEVER gets it on time with 2nd day. This time I will use NEVER. They charge the hell out of you too.

Moab pictures?

 

[Damn True]

Yeah, well it's the last time I'll ship anything of import with UPS.

No photos of the riding. I'm terrible about that. But there are some pics of the camping and a hike we did at Arches Nat'l Monument forthcoming.

You can rent tents and sleeping bags at REI. SLC has several of them, I think.

Let's just say he gets to be the poster child of what *not* to do on a camping trip to Moab.....

USPS is no better. I ordered some programs from bestbuy.com it shipped 5/04/05. It got here today. That's almost a month WTF.

 

[Damn True]

Well they are going to ship my stuff back to me no-charge and refund my money from the initial shipment.

I sent something for 3 day shipping on a Wednesday, the tracking said it was delayed until Tuesday, but it showed up on Saturday. Meaning that they stuck by their word and got it there within three days. It went 3,000 miles too.

San Jose - Salt Lake City is roughly 750 miles. The package was sent 2nd day air on Monday the 23rd and arrived in Salt Lake on Tuesday the 31st.

Still better than my fed ex 2 day air experience. It took 4 days. Maybe its time to try DHL?

Uh, re-read True's last post and do the math, your 4-day 2-day was twice as fast as his 8-day 2-day.

Come on, man. It's *Mack* for krissakes.

Wait - he's bragged on his math.

I'm sure he's doing the best he can with math..........
