Eric sez "...I've always had better luck taking my bikes directly to the UPS shipping facility (not the storefront locations) when I ship them..."
Is this still possible? I notice that when you look up UPS facilities on their web site the main shipping locations aren't even listed. I know where they are around these parts, but I've never tried to take packages to one of them in recent years. Used to be back in the old days that the shipping locations were the ONLY place where you could directly take packages. Everything else was scheduled pickup & delivery from/to your business site by one of their trucks. Nowadays I'm not so sure. Seems like they're trying to push walk-in business away from the shipping (dispatch) locations out to the storefronts.
