Remember here, my neighbor is a driver for a package deliver service, it should be obvious that he likely wouldn't have a clue what to do with a Miller welder if he had one. All his "leftover" packages end up in my garage...........

No, this was the middle school zinger that was most often used. I haven't seen it much since then.

yes, what is the shipping number so they can track it down??? do you have that??? with this i can go on the net and find out where my packages are located at anytime....

Jim, I have been using there tracking page and it still shows that it is in Wilmington Ohio, in fact it has shown that location since 2/4/04. The phone reps have assured me it is not there and that it is en route, they will not know where it is until the truck stops somewhere and they scan the package, then they can tell me where that location is... but it's not lost, it's en route... somewhere. Thanks for your advice. Walt

Oh..well...you did say Douche bag and local..

Airborn Express is now part of DHL. If that is good or bad, I don't know. Most Airborn Express locations are franchised operations, so there is NO consistancy to their operation.

We ship circuit boards 20 miles to a customer, using Airborn, at their request and always have a different driver. Several shipments have gone to the Seattle distribution center rather than just going the 20 miles by truck.

By the way, I bought my old EMCO lathe/mill from the engineer who designed and built the automated package sorting system for Airborn. His son used the EMCO to make all the wheels and pullies, etc. for the equipment.

Chuckle. The last time I heard my ex-husband refer to a woman as a douche bag he subsequently wound up living with her for 15 years (after I left). Sue

Ouch! Sounds like you were well rid of him.
