All kudos to UPS

[bellinghman]

Who, on being given a change of delivery address, didn't wait till tomorrow morning for the redelivery attempt, but called up the driver and told him to drop by.

New shiny now plugged in and charging.

They are good at that sort of thing. I've had <15 minutes between delivery of a replacement battery to reception here at work, me installing the new battery in my laptop and putting the old battery in return box, and the guy coming back and picking up the return package.

The downside is I tend to get stung for custom charges by them more than any other courier.

What is your new shiny by the way?

UPS really have their shit together.
Once I ordered pickup in London, finished taping the box together and walked 3 floors down to the entrance. The UPS driver was not quite tapping his foot waiting for the parcel he had been told to pick up.
After that I made sure the parcels I was having picked up were at the reception desk strictly before I called UPS, not almost the same time...
