Re: Leica - UPS vs. Fedex

No method is safe.  I sent payment for a M6 from Canada to Boston with 
ExpressPost, with a confirmed delivery.  It was supposed to be there
in 4 days.  Six weeks later, I got confirmation that it had been delivered, but 
the person it was sent to (a friend who can be believed)
claimed not to have received it.  Canada Post claimed that their records 
indicated that it had been delivered, and that was it.  Turned out
that it had been delivered to a house down the street.  Had a similar 
experience using U.S.P.S. and Puralator, where a camera delivered to
me languished in Puralator's Fort Erie warehouse for weeks before being 
forwarded to me.
