Dudes.. DHL drives fast as hell.. Thats why they Pwn UPS.. they realize people want their ****.. and they are willing to disregard the safety of others on the roads and traffic laws.. all in an attempt to get their client what they want ASAP.

To me... *tears up*.... That is what America is all about. Capitalism at its best!

UPS is horrible... bottom line

Whenever I get **** shipped from UPS.. I specifically tell the vendor I am buying from to waive the need for a signature upon arrival because of exactly what you described.

I guess it depends on where you live too... but in the small ass subdivision I live in, no one is going to mess with **** on your front porch.

Whats worse than UPS is getting **** shipped via USPS.. they are 10 times worse than UPS.

I've actually found FedEx to be the worst so far as delivery. They flat out f*ing refuse to leave things. Never had the problem with UPS, but I've met the UPS guy several times before, so that helps I'm sure.

I had to arrange a special meeting with the FedEx guy to get my damned clutch because they kept trying to deliver it at like 2 in the afternoon when nobody is home (did this 3 days straight, despite my pleading notes and phone calls) and wouldn't hold it at the local FedEx store because it was 'oversized'. And the local f*ing warehouse isn't open on weekends, yay!

UPS delivers awesome around here.

But their prices are FTL! UPS - $75 bucks to ship a box to Michigan. USPS - $30 with insurance too.

Get some pics when you get yours installed. I'm wanting to go the same route, because I don't trust myself painting my headlights.
