Amen, Bro!!!
The UPS bleed-over to FedEx is exasperating as well. I only use FedEx for
personal business and two evenings in a row, I get to the Fed Ex office
only to find out that the "burden of the UPS strike" forces FedEx to close
early...7 p.m. At least last night there was an explanation on the door as
to why they were closed. So, I was forced to use USPS Express Mail (argh!).
I wouldn't be surprised if AirBorne and Fed Ex were helping the strikers.
Alternate shippers are laughing all the way to the bank. And just think of
the overtime they're paying out!!
And...I think UPS is counting on people like Thomas (waiting on shipments)
to bring pressure on congressmen, and whomever, to bring the strike to an
end "their way."
Oh....er....I'm worried about getting LBC parts, too. (Mandatory LBC
content!)
