In our area Airborne is great, they actually deliver to semi-rural addresses. Brown's idea of a deliver attempt is driving past the end of the block and honking. In our area Airborne delivers "Ground" shipments around 10AM, Brown around 4PM. If you miss delivery you can pickup the same afternoon from their office. Further Airborne has never gone on strike with 10 Grand worth of my parts in their hands, and refuse to even allow me to go get them at the local station where they were being held hostage. I'm gald they chose Airborne. Since I just got my tracking number a this afternoon, I assume they will deliver tomorrow, Airborne's "Ground" service makes Brown look like a snail race. My $.02
