Try spike strips. If that doesn;t work, take a hostage.

I remember when i was waiting for my exhaust. I came home from work late a bit and saw the yellow slip of heartbreak on the door, "missed delivery." I was furious since i had already unbolted my oem system and was super excited. Well I saw the ups truck go by and i hopped in my truck and hauled *** to chase her down! I found her 3 blocks away *hooray!*. The ups lady (who rides a harley) knows me and said you're looking for your pipes aren't you. Just my lucky day

Sigh...in 2 days I'll be waiting at my front door awaiting the fi2000...the madness does not stop

Tracking, man, tracking. Never miss a package again. You can even leave a signed note, such as, "Please leave the package in the garage and lock door."

I always call the local office with my tracking number and tell them to hold my packages there and I will come pick them up. Has worked out perfect for me everytime so far.

Yeah i use the tracking and generally know what time something's going to show up...I just ran a little late that day getting home. For smaller items the ups lady will put it over my driveway gate but only for non fragile items.

One thing about ups though is it's quite a hassle to setup a pickup. Everything's automated now, very very annoying.


Have to admit though it sorta is fun waiting ain't it? Feel like a kid at Christmas

I always have stuff delivered to my office. I switched out seats in my office parking lot a couple weeks ago when my MUstang seat arrived.

Yep, I have stuff delivered to my dad's shop. Whenever I fill out the shipping information, I check the "business address" box, then they only deliver during the week, during business hours. Has worked everytime, and I order a TON of stuff off the internet.
