Hello Marty,

    Just thought I'd chime in and second what you've said. Like your
    wife I too did a lot of mail order and UPS (Canada) was the kiss of
    death: botched deliveries, delays, endless bogus charges, surly
    service people, mangled packages, etc etc etc. My bottom line
    eventually because "if UPS is the only option then it's not worth
    ordering". 

    Interestingly UPS in Europe is a stellar service that rivals Fedex
    in all but price. Certainly it's more expensive than equivalent UPS
    services in Canada but they actually do a decent job without all the
    underhanded shenanigans.

Cheers,
Trevor F.
