Damn it UPS, where's my frame?
I've been sitting around the house all damn day waiting for you, and still at 4:10pm you haven't showed up, despite it saying "out for delivery" at 5am.
Just wanted to vent, I've been cooped up in the house all day. A new TCR frame should have been here by now. Grr.

UPS never gets to my house until around 6 pm.... I think they hit all the residential last.

Maybe you should look up the tracking number and see if it's "Out For Delivery." That might save you some wasted time. Oh, and a waited-for UPS delivery never arrives.

Try stepping out of the house for two minutes to run that one little errand you've got to do.
I guarantee it will arrive at the exact moment you do this.

UPS screwed me over too today. Was expecting some new winter clothing, so I'd be able to ride comfortably in the lower temps. My stuff better be here tomorrow.

My UPS guy delivers at 6:45 AM. Everytime. I must be first on his route or something. On the one hand it's awesome, but on the other hand, sometimes I just want to sleep in a bit......

When you;re waiting for something bike related and really special like a new frame, its is always 6.45pm with UPS. All the other stuff my wife buys online arrives in the mornings for some reason just to piss me off.

Of course, the delays only occur when you are waiting for something you really want.

Also, getting toys at work is a great way to break up the day!

I have everything delivered to my work. Theres always someone there to receive it.
Be prepared for extra long delivery times now since its holiday season. I've had a ups guy drop off a package at 8pm during the holiday season once

Yeah, I remember when I was in my teens and before the internet I would order something from Performance or Nashbar and it would seem like it tooks months to get to my house. Being able to track shipments now is great.

UPS delivered the frame to my house so I could take it for a test ride. You should have it within a couple of days.
