Airborne failed to deliver my p5 today because, (get this) they couldn't find it. Ha! I guess the oversized 40643 in black letters on huge white blocks which I have nailed to a tree at the end of my drive didn't help clue them in. To avoid damaging any critical parts of some drivers brain, I'm going to go pick it up at their office in Charlotte tomorrow. Doh!

Thats Airborne! I dont use them. Call them first before you go. That sometimes doesnt even work. Ron

Hopefully the driver remembers where the Airborne office is! Airborne is one of those companies that make you say "Huh? How are they still around?"

Airborne gets a bad rap much of the time, it seems.... You should see their sorting hub in Wilmington, though! It is an impressive and complex operation. And it's all run by little elves!

Dont blame the elves! Ron

Let me get this straight. You nailed "oversized 40643 in black letters on huge white blocks" so Airborne could deliver Poser 5?

They're not elves; they're leprechauns. And they're very sensitive about the whole elf/leprechaun misidentification thing, so don't provoke them unless you want to wake up some morning with a box of Lucky Charms next to you in bed.

I've heard of "getting lucky" but not with charms!

Umm. They looked like elves to me. Golly. I guess I should have asked, instead of making the assumption. First Cheez-its, now Lucky Charms.... This forum is making me hungry.... It really is an impressive hub, as hubs go.

You probably didn't put the sign in the proper position on the tree. Or you painted the numbers wrong. I don't care how long you lived there, YOU messed up! You are obviously inexperienced.

And the government wants these people to "watch for suspicious activity in our communities!" What suspicious activity? Maybe thinking....hmmmm.

My company is commiting suicide by airborne currently. My company just switched to stillborne ummm uhhh I mean airporn ooops I mean airborne to save money and now us pee-ons pray our customers don't all cancel on us....we pray and pray and pray... ;) Good luck!

I think I'd be wondering about someone who nailed their address to a tree....

Let's scare everybody, shall we, Mr. Fribble? According to my experience with several labs in several states, Airborne, is a very popular overnighter for biological sample shipment...

Nobody wearing a polka-dot bowtie can scare me.

"...And they're very sensitive about the whole elf/leprechaun misidentification thing, so don't provoke them unless you want to wake up some morning with a box of Lucky Charms next to you in bed." LMAO!!!!! Jocularity ... jocularity! Thanks LittleD, I need that! SLMAO.

Actually I paid for ground and got it the day after it shipped. She even knocked on my door to let me know it was there. Marque

Must say ... I paid for 2-DAY and got it the next day (Monday), which was a pleasant surprise.

Yeah, get this - They attempted delivery 2 days in a row while I was home, but I never heard from them. I called Airborne and they actually said - OK, I'll put a note in for them to ring the buzzer. So let me get this straight - They come up to my apartment building and whaddayaknow- there's a locked door on the front of it. Must mean nobody is home. I'll come back tomorrow - maybe the door won't be there next time. I Called them after I saw on-line that they had "Attempted" delivery - and threw a #$%^ fit (yeah, it's not nice, but it gets the job done with these briantrusts). I made them redeliver it that night. I hate having to be jerk, but I find that with them, you have to be to get anything done right. Sheesh. Aharon

"OK, I'll put a note in for them to ring the buzzer." Be careful, they might say they "couldn't find a buzzer ... only a doorbell."

What amazes me is when delivery companies can't find my house. It's the only house on the block, fer cryin' out loud. Yeesh. The best one, though, is the day I stayed at home, waiting for a delivery from the people with the brown trucks (you know who they are) and I found a yellow delivery attempt notice in my box when I checked my mail (the mailbox is attached to the house halfway up the front stairs) that said they'd attempted delivery, but I wasn't home. BUT MY FRONT DOOR WAS WIDE OPEN FROM 9 AM TO 8 PM that day!!! ARGHHHH!!!! Kate (who has actually had them stop and knock on my door to ask for directions to my house. Guess they couldn't see the lighted numbers next to the front door or the large black numbers painted on the curb on both sides of my driveway.)

I'm sorry for your troubles greybro. They just left it on my porch, in the rain. When I finally got home I found my daughter using it as a launch pad for puddle splashing. LOL, a just a little soggy.

Ha. Just picked it up at the airport office. Good thing it's shrink wrapped hugh?

heyas; they couldn't find which 'it'? your house, or your p5 package? cuz i just heard somebody's p5 was in an airborne bag or something that got stolen.

My House.
