- hi,
-
- there have been a lot of horror stories about UPS crushing
- deliveries, esp. from Gateway 2000. the solution to this is
- simple - call gateway, and request shipment via. Federal Express.
- i did this, and they didn't charge extra. it came ok by Fed Ex.
-
- also, if enough people do this, maybe Gateway will start to wonder
- why nobody wants to use UPS and will look into the reasons.
-
- Another bonus: Fedex will quickly track your package if you want -
- i don't think UPS can do this.
