Capt. Toleran Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Regarding BTC using USPS over UPS -- I'm very glad they did. I have had nothing but trouble with UPS -- they have lost my packages two times (I got them two weeks later), redirected them to the wrong address a couple of other times, and generally been very slow. You can always bet that 9 times out of 10, a UPS package will arrive at the maximum due date, not the minimum. USPS has always done well for me, and almost always gets me the package within 4-5 business days or less, even with packages from the East Coast (I live on the West Coast). This goes for anything I have ever ordered from BTS/BTC -- I ordered CMBO on a Monday, and got in on a Friday, for example. It's too bad the USPS gets so much bad press from everyone. Try talking to someone who lives in a third-world country about their mail service, and hear all the horror stories of stuff getting stolen out of their packages, packages never delivered, etc. We get some of the best quality mail service in the world, and it's protected by federal law.

Dragon Army Posted September 23, 2002 Author Share Posted September 23, 2002 It's backwards for me. USPS has lost one of my packages and taken FOREVER on occasion to get me others, while UPS' record with me is spotless. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzig Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 While I certainly wouldn't mind getting it todat, or even Tuesday, I am perfectly willing to have it arrive on Wednesday. Why you ask? Well it's my Birthday on the 25th, and I really could not think of a better present on the face of this planet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stalingrd Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Ah yes, I live in Seattle (Phinney Ridge/Greenwood) as well. I get my mail downtown through my PO Box. I'm going to check it at 2pm. I figure i might have a chance to get it a little earlier cutting out the delivery to the house. I'll let you know if it comes in.. it's going to be today or tomorrow though! 2 years in the waiting. If it doesnt come in I'm going to the Baronoff and kareoke sad songs with the one-armed man till I'm in a drunken stupor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRoadster Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Looks like Californians are getting it just about the same time as everyone else nationwide outside of the Northeast. I'm in the L.A. area and it came today! Just opened the mail and CMBB was in the much hoped for red white and blue envelope. Gotta go install now.

I've had bad luck with UPS, too - they've lost a package that was addressed to me, lost a package that I sent to someone else, and tried to deliver to me a package addressed to someone else. I haven't had any problems with the USPS *and* they deliver on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrewolf Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Hmmm USPS fared worst in my case so far UPS has been good to me although their delivery system suck cause if I missed delivery I could not pick it up later in the day unlike Airborne Express. As for USPS I had shipments arriving faster than it should and some arrives slower. I had a case where I had delivery tracking but still lost the shipment somewhere, it did come 1 month later though and its shipped from the east coast to west coeast .

Phoenix Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Well, don't get too excited. Appears to be SEVERAL people (me included) running into problems with the Windows version crashing during install. Leaves out some files, and doesn't get around to installing any of the scenarios. For more info go to the Tech Support forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Ayers Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Oh man, I can't wait to get home. It better be there. If it's in SF, it HAS to be there. Hey A1, leakyD and Sabre, We should get together and play sometime. At least were in the same area. We could even do a hotseat game. (Never did have a chance to do that yet.)

ex PFC Wintergreen Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Far Out! It was delievered to my work address today (Sacramento, CA) but my secretary sat on it (mentally) until I pilfered her outbox 10 minutes ago. Ah, the advantages of living in the 5th largest economy in the world!! (but shrinking and soon to be overtaken by the French, of all people). So, BTS met my wildest expectations as far as delivery times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
