that happened to me once not UPS i was home and went to check the mail when it was sitting on the door step i was'nt to bothered though because the drive way is fairly long you would have to come up the drive and the steps to actually see something was there

but as others have said its pretty lame and a poor practice to leave packages lying around like that.

Azyiu · 05-22-2008, 08:14 AM

Knowing you have a package coming, why don't you call UPS ahead of time and arrange for a delivery time or what not? I always do that, and so far I have no trouble getting my packages after 7:30pm my time at home.

not only you. I imported 4 BDs from USA, which are Narnia, Mrs Doubtfire, Devil Wears Prada, and August Rush. totaling to £95 = approx $190

Know what I paid on delivery by UPS??? An amount of £27. I can get 1-2 BDs with that. £11 alone is the handling fees. man..... too expensive. Handling charge from royal mail is only £4

I got mine in a package that was rather beat up... Odd that it could be so beat up in one day shipping from Kentucky to Ohio, but 2 day shipping (Does Amazon Prime extend overseas now, too?!) from England to Ohio result in a mint package.

Beta Man · 05-22-2008, 12:24 PM

give your UPS guy a code for the garage door, or a key for a side door..... Mine has the code to the Garage, no worries about my packages.

£27= about 55.00 USD

I loolek up the weight on those four though the USPS, roughly 1lb and a half(if boxed) runs 14-16 USD .
Now UPS is alot more, the USPS mathos is hard to be tracked so because of fraudualnt buyers you have to pay for it

it's UK tax that made it expensive. and that is what I paid for tax and tax handling fees.
the cost of delivery itself by UPS was US$15 from Hong Kong (yes, I bought American BD from HK).
So, the total cost UPS burdened me was approx US$70, outside of the BD costs

I was thinking the same thing, WTF??? if anything you would want to take the movies not the packing slip. The packing slip does nothing for you, but to tell you what was in the box. Oh well I guess the 2 pack of NT will stay with me...I wasnt really upset, but found it odd that this happened...
