The only thing I can think of if it isn't fixed is to leave a note taped above the intercom asking the UPS guy to radio headquarters from the truck and get them to phone you. Long shot. Or try to call their dispatch centre in the morning and explain that it's perishable.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I am going to call UPS again in the morning, once the parcel is actually here they will hopefully be a little more helpful, I will also leave a note and hope the driver sees it. Delivery services are not exactly reliable around these parts for residential, Canada Post and Purolator wont even attempt a delivery, they just leave a note for pick up, Canada Post isn't so bad its only 5 min away, but Purolator is a 20-30 min drive away and so annoying when they require a pick up. UPS and Fedex usually attempt delivery.

UPS isnt all that helpful.

What I have learned:

1) Their drivers do not carry phones apparently.

2) Until its in Vancouver there is nothing they can do.

3) Once in Vancouver if I call before it leaves the depot they might be able to hold but truck may leave as early as 5am.

4) Delivery sometime between 10am and 3pm. It has a guranteed delivery of 3pm but drivers need to do their 930 and 1030 guaranteed express first so most likely between 1030a and 3p.

Talked to 3 different UPS CSR on phone and all recite the same lines.

So Ill likely have to skip DBT as wife has a trial shift 9 to 3 so wont be home.

Ill sit in lobby from 1030 to 3 and hope for the best.

Technology is grand but when it breaks it makes things difficult.

Not a good start for Europe in the Ryder Cup :(

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Ryder Cup? Golf? I am disappointed in you that you follow a pastime like golf.:scarper:

Nah...the Ryder Cup isn't golf. I don't watch golf but the Ryder Cup is compulsive viewing.

What a turnaround in the afternoon foursomes. :thumbsup:

I never knew that. That's impressive.

Any crash you can walk away from is a good one.

In May 2016, I had a thread about freezer space and Siouxie helpfully suggested these.https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/british...f9be1b0417.jpg

I bought some immediately. We haven't used them yet :o

Stepdaughter and MIL are just going through the freezers.
