Who delivered it? Dell or UPS?

UPS has been screwing up a lot lately. At a golf course in Mandeville they ordered some retardent for the grass. It's $5000 for a 5 gallon bucket's worth. Of course, like any golf course, it says Country Club as part of the name. Where did they deliver it to? A different Country Club. Why?

They didn't bother to look at the address.

Luckily they didn't know what to do with it, as in, what it was, and just put it in storage. The other Country Club figured it out and went and got it.

Yesterday I was at my friend's B&B working on some plants in the yard and then doing research online. UPS stops. They guy looks at me and asks me what the address is. I can never remember because I don't need to so I said I have no idea - who is it for?

It was at the right place but he didn't know it. That's great.

Regardless of that, someone GAVE me a Dell desktop. It had 18 Trojan viruses in it, he said "Ahhh it'll be easy to fix." I spent 3 hours on the phone with Dell. I wound up doing 2 things with them - being nice and being mean. Neither worked. They are SCREWBALLS. So I smashed the computer and called them back up and told them - they didn't GET IT.

So I will never buy from Dell, partially because they outsource most of their customer help to India, and I don't ever really use UPS or anyone else but if I did, it won't be UPS. At least for now.
