If boycotts worked, I would be the head cheerleader.I use what is best for 
me,including Wal Mart. Our little boycott would not make a difference to 
UPS. Have to wait and see,the big guys sometimes screw up too.

>> "The shipper PAID us for 3 business day delivery. They get 3 bus. day
>> delivery."
>> I said I understand you must get it to me in 3 business days as agreed,

>> I said, So you just let it sit there on the dock to "burn up" the time
