I ordered a motherboard and its flying by air from Vancouver to Toronto.

So is it stuck in Vancouver?

Please note this is not to ment to take lightly all the deaths that took place.

I'm not pissed cause my motherboard might be late and losing site of the larger issue.

I'm just wondering if anyone knew if they were flying again.

I wrote UPS an email, but I'm guessing they have all kinds of problems much larger then just my one small package right now.

One more thought

The deaths are horrible but I can't help but think of all the other stuff.

Think of all the people that were employed in that building, if they have no job, how are they going to pay their rent next month? Man that has gotta suck, they probly lost friends and are going to possibly be on the street.

Even if most of the business people have temp offices set up what about the building janitors and such, they are screwed, if they aren't dead.

Its pretty crazy when you think about it.

And how many businesses are loosing TONS of money because all these flights are grounded.

I wonder if new flight rules are also going to change rules for air parcel carriers.

I wonder how hard it is to get in as a pilot on one of those?

Do you know if they are still grounded in Canada?

I'm getting kinda mad that they havn't replied to my email, 2 days later.

I'm not sure if mine would be faster by truck, boy I could see that taking a while.

I guess if it was an express truck from vancouver to toronto, but I could see it stoping at every major city and getting bogged and sorted for the next truck.

Yeah I guess that would be crazy working at the airport and not hearing all the normal action. Wacky stuff.

Its amazing how this one event caused such far reaching stuff.

Ah really wacky thing for ya guys about transport.

At the US Can border leaving Canada they are checking every car and truck.

EXCEPT the ones carrying relief supplies.

How hard would it be to put something in a relief truck and drive it over?

Crazy.

UPS REINSTATING ITS GUARANTEES

UPS announced on Friday, Sept. 14 it would reinstate its domestic money-back delivery guarantees starting with packages picked up on Monday, Sept. 17.

The decision follows the resumption of air operations on Friday, both in the United States and on international routes.

The money-back guarantees will not apply to packages destined for certain areas of Manhattan closed by the city of New York, or to portions of Washington, D.C., in and around the Pentagon. UPS plans to reinstate international guarantees once all of its airport gateways around the world finish compliance with Federal Aviation Administration standards.

Earlier Friday, UPS restored its U.S. air operations and successfully moved its Next Day AirŪ packages impacted by the tragic events of the past week. The U.S. domestic air system now is fully operational.

Throughout the week, UPS's extensive ground network has operated normally, even as it expanded to keep air express packages moving.

Last time I ordered a board from the same place I ordered it tuesday and had it thrusday morning

I sent that board back via reguar post and it took about 7 business days.

I requested the new board to be sent that way cause 7 days is fine with me, but they couldn't send it that way as they don't have someone on hand who can run all the packages down to the post office all the time. UPS picks up.
