It's nice to see peoples generosity and their willingness to support the work that goes into making the videos. I can understand that. I recently sent one of them a sizable chunk of change myself for a couple of shirts, as a way of supporting their channel. But when you make it a point to start every single video with "lets see what I got free in the mail today" it begins to make me wonder. Some of them are using YouTube as their own personal cash cow these days... JMHO.

Who's to say really if it was an Enco/MSC warehouse worker, a UPS hub worker / truck loader, or the driver? All I know is I haven't seen my "regular" UPS driver for quite some time now and my level of delivery service has gone downhill.
Even at their worst, UPS is still 10,000 times better than the postal service around here.

the last time I complained about the service to UPS, it got worse, my items seemed to ride in the truck for an extra 2-3 days before It finally got here. The driver, since gone, made a snide comment, if I bitched again, they might not ever show up.

Wow. The USPS handles it exactly the same way. Now days I just take the "expected" delivery date and automatically add an extra 2 days minimum.

They must start out here as newspaper boys. It's down the road, it's in the puddle, it's lost, it's late.

Just found mention of this service on another site. Looks promising for any fellow Canucks. Haven't dug into the costs yet but on the surface it looks cheap.

Because it separates and won't recombine. BTDT.

Here's mine. Genuine 3M 60 grit belts for $6.27 and four 123 blocks for $5.98 each, shipped. You can't buy the steel for that
