That's why I only ship T shirts, coffee mugs and pen & pencil sets.:r:r
I used to work for UPS before the strike in 97 and thats why I send nothing UPS. I was an unloader and all we did was break stuff......:hn
And that's why I don't use UPS, slower than USPS, less reliable than USPS and more expensive than USPS.
Your Dad is a mailman, and you use UPS? :r
That's like a kid who has a Dad who runs a Chevy dealership buying a Ford.
The kid buying the Ford just means that he is smarter than his father.:chk:chkYour Dad is a mailman, and you use UPS? :r

You are clueless buddy. He used the UPS STORE, which is a franchise operation, independently owned and operated. And UPS has the fastest time in transit maps of any of the carriers, including USPS. The only time the post office EVER gets something somewhere faster is if it is part of a contract UPS cargo load (they lease cargo space on UPS transit lines sometimes) or if it involves a saturday delivery. Otherwise, espouse some truths or bring the facts to the table.
.So, I'm #5 in kgoings' Win a Humidor contest.
I don't have any 5-finger bags, so I food-saved the cigars I was going to send him and took that bag to the UPS store. I told the guy "I need a box and some bubble wrap to send these cigars."
He replies, "You can't send cigars, it's illegal."
My reply was "Why? It's not like they're Cubans. I just bought them last night!"
I wound up having to buy the box and bubble wrap separately, leave the store, pack the box, come back in, and say "I'd like to ship this box."
He asks, "Oh, and you're shipping gifts?"
Me: "Yeah, gifts."
So, is openly mailing cigars against some kind of rule or law, federal or otherwise? Or was this guy just giving me a hard time?
