Don't necessarily blame UPS.  I have always had good service from them.
The fact that you want it to go UPS 2 day air has NO bearing on what
the shipper will do.  I have had one company tell me that it cost me
an extra $x.xx for 2 day air and another extra $x.xx for them to get
it out their door.  In other words, if I pay both extras, they will 
ship it that day and I will get it in two days.  If I only pay the
first (UPS) extra, who knows when the shipper will get around to shipping
it.
