I vote for crazy, but I am already in that mode.

And proud of it.

Yesterday - I got an e-mail saying that someting that I'd ordered had been shipped via UPS and it gave the standard link - so I pop open that window and the UPS site says delivered......? So, I go to the front porch, and sure enough, there it was and had been sitting there since friday...........! I need to use my front door more often!

The package tracking is great. It is interesting the route some of them take. Once I wanted to modify what was in the tracking list. I got home to find a package delivered by UPS at the front door. The only problem was I had not ordered anything. I checked the box and it belonged to the lady two doors down. I walked the box over to her house. I checked the tracking number and as one would expect it showed "delivered". I wanted to modify that entry to add "delivered by neighbor". I wonder what UPS would do if the box got tossed out? The tracking system would show delivered but the customer would not have received the package as it was misdelivered to the wrong address. Unless the UPS driver had a good memory there would be some finger pointing.
