<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 1243376, member: 5787"]I've called UPS and the mint on this one. I tried to remain calm but I got more disgusted as each conversation went forward. I must say that I can't get to upset with UPS since they are just following the mint's requirements. Apparently, they didn't follow directions on the first four ATB's that were left on my doorstep during the second delivery attempt after I signed the back of the form. I would delay delivery to Saturday but that does cost $4 and it forces me to await around on one of my precious day's off to wait for the UPS guy (pay more and ruin my weekend plans). I could go and pick up the package at the nearest UPS store, which is 1-hour away and has poor hours. I don't think so. Will someone remind me again why the mint doesn't use the postal service to deliver the coin? It is cheaper and they put it in my mail box. It is also another government agency that seems to work rather well. I can't remember issues with delilvery of anything from the postal service. In my company, we always prefer goods from other company facilities before going to another company. Considering the recent budget fiasco, I guess I shouldn't expect financial aptitude from the government.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
