re: Parcel delivery problems.

If you  regulary  expect to receive  valuable  parcels, and you want to avoid
having  them  left  by  your  front  door  or  want  to  avoid  having  to go
somewhere-not-nearby  at an  inconvenient  hour to pick  'em up,  consider  a
private post office.

There are several  here in Ft.  Collins, CO and I know they exist  elsewhere.
I have a P.O.  Box  (they  have to call 'em  "suites")  at one.  For a higher
rental fee than USPS charges, I get the following extra services:

* They accept delivery from ALL parcel services as well as U.S. mail.

* They have longer hours - and I can get into my box even when they're closed
  because I have a key ($10.00 deposit).

* They  are a  forwarder  for  UPS,  Federal  and  Burlington.  This is  very
  convenient  for mailing  parcels  around Xmas time,  because  UPS has lousy
  hours and long lines.

The only disadvantage (apart from price):

* They will only accept COD deliveries for up to about $20.00;  however, If I
  leave the money with them, they will accept COD in any value.

Regards,                                               Hewlett-Packard
