The center is an hour’s journey through heavy urban traffic.
And why should I have to do that -- to solve THEIR problem?

If USPS can’t deliver something I can walk to the Post Office. Happened twice with “Signature Required” Royal Mail.
If UPS can’t deliver something I could pick it up after a ten-minute drive. Has never happened.

Funny. The package (an SK Hiking Kilt) was delivered today.
The FedEx truck had TWO staff.
I don’t think that I’ve seen that before.
I didn’t get to speak with them.
Maybe one was a trainee.
Or maybe they were the “Problem Delivery” crew.
All's well that ends well.

My five-person family receives packages from all carriers it seems like weekly.
So to have a delivery problem from the same carrier twice in a six-week period gets my attention.

SWK does just fine and more than fine with USPS.
