[updated:LAST EDITED ON Aug-27-05 AT 12:43 PM (EST)]Our USPS postman routinely drives up to our mailbox on the street when my wife's at home looking out the kitchen window, sometimes out working in the yard, and leaves those "we tried to deliver your package" notices in the box. I doubt the packages ever make it into his jeep.
Lately I've ordered some jewelry for my wife and daughter on several occasions from:
http://jegem.com/ They're in Bangkok. If I give my home address to ship it to, it comes by USPS, takes forever to arrive, and I have to take that infernal notice down to the post office to collect my package. But if I give 'em my business address, it goes Fedex and arrives two days later! Haven't had any handling complaints with Fedex.
