My ups guy is cool. I gave him the code to my garage and he just puts the packages in there so they don't get left outside. If you ever need parts and if UPS starts to ding you with brokerage you may want to try corvette central. www.corvettecentral.com

My UPS guy brings my parts to my office so the wife doesn't find out just how much stuff I order.

Default Yep, I live near ZIP , have been doing

business with them for years.

Kona, I hear what you are saying about too many UPS/FEDEX packages arriving. I don't work in an office, but I do try and get home early on those days which works for UPS cause they come early. FEDEX is a different story , they usually show up about 7PM, then I get some funny looks, I just head to the garage with parts in hand. Gets really interestesting when I get 3 shipments , 3 days in row.

Get your wife interested in online shopping...then suddenly the tables will turn and you'll be giving her the funny looks when the packages arrive.
