This time, UPS seems to have goofed up

I have a package coming UPS that will supposedly be delivered between 2 and 6 PM. It's 6:52 PM now, and their web site isn't working. It's not displaying the map showing where the truck is, just a non-clickable "Re-center" item. And their chatbot was as stupid as any other. I guess I'll have to wait until next week to get my Hohner harmonica.

It finally arrived near 8:00PM. And I was wrong, it was a different harmonica. I'm starting to learn to play, and I want to try out a few brands (nothing in the $1K+ range, though ). Currently, I have a Lee Oskar, an East Top, and a Fender. A Hohner is on the way, and also a Seydel (NOT one of their super expensive models).

Of course, I'm still mad about the malfunctioning web page.

happens. Technology, believe it or not, is slowly out to kill us - one way or another, it's just biting the cracker from the outside in

You should have used USPS sorry, couldn't help myself. You seem to not have much luck w/ the Pony Express. Here, thankfully, and knock-on-wood, we have pretty decent service by USPS and UPS, both really good, followed by FedEx (less good) and a company called OnTrac which a decade ago was brilliant and today I would rank the worst of them.

So far, I have had the best luck with UPS, and while FedEx abuses my packages, they are at least delivered to the correct address. USPS big misdelivery problem around here seems to be the carrier being on the phone while doing their job, thus not paying full time and attention to what they are doing. I really miss the days before cell phones. USPS needs to have a policy of staying off of the phone while delivering UNLESS there's an emergency.
