Yes, Steve.

I don't live in a 55+ community, but a Gated Community and I used to see those UPS drivers tooling around in golf carts pulling a trailer, but I haven't seen them the past two seasons; for obvious reasons!

I broke down and bought Don's Genos which should be here the day after Christmas. Thankfully I'm on vacation and can take some time to set it up.

I remember your from the hood. I still have family in Dumont and Bergenfield. Welcome back to FLA and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Since I bragged about USPS, it will probably arrive in pieces. No problem though, I spent extra 57 bucks insuring it!

Al, So you know the routine with the UPS golf carts/trailers, they seem to use them in the gated communities. Yea they could never do that in Dumont or Bergenfield or in Rhode Island. Thanks for the welcome back to Florida

And a HUGE congrats on the Genos!! Enjoy!

UPS showed up here years ago with my Bose L1 PAS, and fortunately, I happened to be at the door when he arrived. He was getting ready to just walk away when I told him to come back. "What's the problem." he said with an attitude.

I pointed out a massive fork lift hole right in the center of the base unit box, one that penetrated all the way through and out the other side. Then he had the balls to say "Well, is it damaged/" I said it probably is trash. He said "Well if you open the box to inspect the damage, it's on you - I can't take it back." I rejected the delivery, called Bose and they shipped another base unit overnight to me via Fedex.

UPS was frequently leaving boxes on the ground under my mailbox, which is 300 feet from our home and out of view, then claiming they left them on the porch. Fortunately, I have a Ring Floodlight Camera on the corner of the house, which picks up movements from up to 100 feet away. When I called UPS and informed them and emailed the video to them, that was the last time they dumped our goodies on the ground at the top of the hill.

Ironically, when I get a delivery from Amazon Prime, they actually photograph the package sitting at my front door and email the photo to me asking if the delivery went OK. Now, that's REAL service.

Good luck,

Gary


Gary love the comment “Like pissing in the ocean and expecting the tide to rise.” rotf2

The UPS drivers are teamsters I believe no chance of getting them fired for destroying something being delivered.

Same deal where I live Amazon takes a photo of the package depending on the value and what the time is.

Steve, WOW...well today at about 3PM my SX-900 showed up at my door, not doorbell ring, I just happened to look outside. Box has a couple things wong including a hole, but so far kbd looks OK, I'll test it tonite. I am in a 55+ community and the UPS guy delivers the same way....golf cart / tractor thingy, with a trailer attached...I often see him, boxes are jumping around and I'm sure some fall off...he drives like a mad man. Not sure if he delivered it or the brown truck. I never use UPS usually Fedx....but this came UPS.

I should probably report what I see with this delivery guy, who do I call??

Hi Donny, it will be here on Thursday. I'll let you know. I'm praying it meets my needs and is comparable to the Pa4x.

Merry Christmas Donny to you and your family!!!
