- Gee, I shipped two quite fragile musical instruments this year via
- FedEx. Both arrived in perfect shape, and on time too. UPS, on
- the other hand, I entrusted with a box of music for "second day
- delivery". Silly me, I didn't know that the 2 days in question
- were the Wednesday I sent it and the Wednesday a week later. And
- they'd managed to do quite a number on the box--but then they had
- 8 days to kick it around.
