    As long as you got your marker thats all that matters...
    I would be intersted in knowing what ups said under the details of the delivery.

    When I finally snap you will be the first to go.

        What does the UPS tracking system say? If it lists an "exception", call UPS and ask what happened. If they cannot locate it, they should offer to replace it. It would be up to you as to the next move...

        I've rarely had a good experience with UPS. I've had them put the failed delivery notice on the door while I was less than 15' way. I've had periods where 3 of 5 shipments experienced some sort of "exception". I had them leave a rifle on the doorstep, unattended, despite the fact that a signature was required. Nightmares galore.

        That's not to mention a buddy of mine worked at a UPS hub and described their normal care (or disregard) for the packages.
        God gave you a soul.
        Your parents, a body.
        Your country, a rifle.

        Keep all of them clean.

              Worst experiance with UPS (and I have had MANY)...

              In 2001 I went to Chicago for the AGD super Tour. I had shipped my 80lb create (mind you it's about $5k worth of stuff inside) to AGD and gave them my credit card to ship it back home to me. So there I am at home and two weeks go by and no create of paintball gear. I email Marcia to get a tracking number. I get the number is it states "Delivered". So there I sit, thinking UPS dropped the create off on my porch and someone had the guts to carry away an 80lb box of stuff. So I email her back and find out that she pulled my address from one of my guns that I registered years ago and still had my old address on it. This was the end of November and I had moved back in October. So, I stopped over the old house, and sure enough it was sitting on the front porch. Now, most people would think, ok, how did UPS screw up, they delivered to the correct address. Well, two ways...first a signature was required for delivery and two a moron could tell the house was vacant, there wasn't even curtains on the windows. The BIG picture window you look directly into as you step on the porch will show you a living room with NOTHING in it. Luckly the box was there, nothing was taken or fooled with. The zipties I put on the latches were still there and all, but this damn thing sat there for a week.

                never had a lost package to ups but ihave had lazy ups guys, one time i was waiting for a spyder booyah frame(a looooooong time ago) and est time of delivery was 2:30 came and went no package, the day came and went no package(mind you i had a couple of days off) so the next day comes and goes ,out for delivery blah blah blah, no package, so i call the headquaters and they tell me oh the driver reported that he stopped by 3 times and no one was home...to sum it up driver delivered my package at 730 at night, and i later saw him working at a local gas station(full time)

                  great, this thread made me check the tracking number on my fragtek custom RTpro, and saw that USPS claims it was delivered yesterday while i was gone, too bad i got home 30 minutes after the claimed delivery time, so either it got ganked, delivered to the wrong house, or not actually delivered, damn i'm steamed, waited 2 months for that fricking marker...

                    called USPS, they claim it was signed for at my residence by a 'madrtzig', so i did a switchboard search for all of the US for that name, no hits. i guess i get to go door to door up and down the street here and see if anyone has that last name.

                          My fiance ordered something that was shipped UPS to our apartment.

                          The expected delivery day I get home from work and find that instead of dropping the package off at the apartment office like he should, the driver decided to just throw the box over the railing to our second floor balcony.
                          Luckily it was clothes or something soft like that and not something that could have been damaged.

                              well, found my marker. USPS delivered it to a computer supply store (TigerDirect Outlet) 3 miles away (and not even close on the street name)...

                                I personally find UPS quite good. I've never had any problems with them and have done anything from ground to overnight delivery. Everything I have ordered or sent has arrived on time. No problems what-so-ever.

                                His sights on anyone exposing of their flesh
                                He impales their hearts with ease
                                And shrugs their piercing screams
                                Pity is they'll never die
                                They'll suffer here eternally"
