FYI, I believe both FedEX and UPS are "Next Day By 10:30". So actually, you got what you asked for.

I get next day and second-day deliveries then and the regular stuff later in the day. Just the feature of the service. Your ground deliveries are what come so late.

And normally, you can leave a signature on file with both carriers for them to leave stuff. But anything expensive I get shipped is normally noted as "ADULT SIGNATURE REQUIRED" which means a person literally has to sign for and accept the shipment.

This wasn't a UPS screw up. :)

You learn something new every day. I should have had it delivered to one of our friends down the street (they both work at home with their kids). I guess it could be worse...they could have delivered a box full of busted glass and plastic! I will make a mental note about the "Next Day = by 10:30" service.

hopper, congrats on the new camera! Today is looking more and more unproductive...

I usually have overnight packages delivered to my office.

So I had a chance to swing by and pick it up this morning. And I can't stop smiling. I had to force myself to leave the battery bagged up and not put it on the charger, so I might get some work done. I did change out the focusing screen already...I couldn't help myself! This is what I looked like opening the box ... XD ... and I haven't changed much since! I can't believe it took me this long to upgrade.

Stupid work to do, stupid baseball pictures to order tonight...at least there is a 3 day weekend for me to play!
