I disagree with the fedex hooplah. I have had several very very important packages either completely lost by fedex (one custom performance car part-limited run) or opened by a fedex employee, the contents ransacked and stolen. I prefer USPS or UPS. Just my feelings about the parcel delivery service.

Last Monday for my work i sent 2 gaskets to CA. They have steel outer rings, but the middle of them is not fragile, but could be broken with careless handling. So i had a guy at work make a crate, from wood, to put them in and i sent them UPS.

Yesterday i got an email informing me that the goods were destroyed and lost (like one wasn't good enough!) and that the crate was damaged and empty. I am not sure of the abuse it takes to achieve that, but i send UPS my hearty congratulations.

I made an account over at UPS for free. I get A-LOT of packages. If you make an account... They send you emails when packages are scheduled for delivery and you can choose the time you want it delivered or set it for another date... all free of charge. And for a paltry 3 dollars and change a month you can get even more control over your package delivery.

As for USPS, you are kind of at the whim of whoever you have that day... Just follow your tracking numbers online closely so you know exactly where your stuff is. And if you know you won't be there. leave a note on your door telling the postman to leave the package in your grill or under a car or tucked somewhere on your property easy to access. They have always done it for me in the past. Just be smart about where you choose to have him leave it lol. They will usually take the note down after they do the drop off so no nosy neighbors see it.

But to skip all of this hassle thats why i went right to a networked webcam with speaker... Just keep your eye on the tracking numbers and the rest is gold.

I LOVE THE GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

reo #2 arrived today but he didn't knock loud enough for me or my dogs to hear it! Now I have to wait until in the morning at 11am to pick it up

1) get a PO box

2) clean out dogs' ears. dogs didn't hear it? If an ambulance leaves town 15 miles away, on the way out to here (wood/boonies) the dogs *alert* way before my human ears can detect the siren. They start howling, so I know to *expect* to hear a siren in next 60-240 seconds. :)

GL hope it comes tomorrow.

I have forgiven the dogs. They hear the slightest sounds outside. I just believe when it isn't our regular postman they don't knock at all and just leave the notice. I still live in a neighborhood that they walk to the box on the house beside the door. Usually the dogs hear the mailbox door. Oh well all is good the new Reo is as expected "perfect ". Performing great and looking good. [emoji4]

You might want to keep and set it aside for spell. I had some terrible leaking problems with the RM4 when I first got it and put it away. After reading some rave review in here, I gave it another whirl and dialed in a build that I could manage the squonk with better. It's in steady rotation now. You never know when you might get a juice or a build that suits it.
