An alternative to UPS - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

27 Jul 2000

I just got off the phone with the shipper.  No news yet, but he did confirm
that once we've given up hope, he'll refund my money.

Of course, what I _really_ want is for UPS to find the box.  Aside from a
picture on Eric's brouhaha web site, this was the first  one of the DEC
Computer Lab digital logic trainers I'd ever come across.  I hate to think
that UPS has somehow managed to lose it.

 When I talked to the shipper, I confirmed that I wanted the package
 double-boxed and said I wanted it insured.  UPS started a trace on the
 package last Friday afternoon, so I'll be following up tomorrow.  I
 haven't
 given up _all_ hope, but it isn't looking good.

instructions to the contrary.  Of course, those instructions  were
 over the phone, not via e-mail, so I'm getting
the "you didn't tell me  you
 wanted me to insure it".  Gee, now why
wouldn't I want it insured? :-(  
     Did you pay the seller to insure the package? If so, then he owes  you
  even if he has to pay out of his own pocket.

    My 2 cents worth,
