Geez. That really gets my goat. Getting over embarrassment is such an asset in so many ways. Did you ever find out UPS Express Critical's rates? I had no idea UPS was so hardcore, but I guess they have to be if they want to keep important customers.See, the former employee had written down the wrong date and was too embarrassed to call me back.
Hey, they were not only out of a job, they were in Utah. Feel sorry for them. UPS Critical is not really an "internet shopping cart" sort of service. You call them and they put together a bid for you. Incongruously, they do close at some point; I tried to use them to get a hard drive from Seattle to Texas at 10PM on a Sunday and they wouldn't pick up the phone. I actually had to resort to calling jet charter before I discovered that it costs more than $40k to round up a jet pilot on a Sunday night.
Yikes! I certainly do now. That makes much more sense. I agree that it's weird that they close, especially when "critical" things might come up at odd hours, as they so often do. I take it that your situation was not $40k important? edit: testing shoutouts humanodonYou call them and they put together a bid for you.
