    1.  The old quantity limitatation dates from troubles with the postal
	authorities; since deregulation of the freight industry, this is no
	longer a problem.

    2.  When you get one of those UPS tickets saying that they found no one
	home, you can get them to leave the item by signing the ticket and
	putting it someplace where the UPS person will see it; they will then
	leave it without any further signature.  Whether or not you want to
	do this depends on the value of the material, of course.

    3.  A friend of mine who lives on a private road halfway up Mt. Tamalpias
	in Marin used to run a mail order business out of his house; he paid
	for UPS service, and every day, the UPS truck edged its way down his
	steep driveway to see whether the "UPS" or "No UPS" sign was showing.
	They usually showed up, rain or shine; he has few bad words to say
	about UPS.
