It is just amazing at how fluent these guys are, I got my new i1 phones today. Sent from KY last night at 8:45pm. Here it is at my door step at 2:30. Obviously they ship thru the air as there is no way a driver can make that. They could if they drove straight from Louisville to Muskegon but the tracking said they did not do this.

And I am sure it was not just my stuff that made the trip, just to think about how fast and effcient they are is just amazing. Like a well oiled machine!

Thank you UPS man

really? you dont like it? I had got the LG optimus for my wife but they said I had to have a data plan blah, blah, blah. I dont use or need interenet on my phone. And for another $40/month for data they can keep it.

I did like the optimus touch screen so I dedcided to go with the i1's. This way we still have the DC. I was looking at my usage the other day and I had used 15hrs of DC.

We wont get to use them tho yet, they are X-mas gifts to my self and the ol lady!

Just got done wrapping them!

oh yeah, i had a BB for a while but that damn trackball is worthless. I went back to my i880. besides you can get free internet anyhow with nextels. Actually, for a while there about a year ago I was using my nextel as a modem to get online. Slower than dial up! but it worked!

I'm gonna have to agree with Marie and Alan. The radio bezel for my F100 came from Ohio in two days. I've shipped a few things out using USPS, and all of it has reached the destination within 3 days. Now, granted i've only shipped to places east of the Mississippi .

I used to swear by UPS but with Click N Ship on the USPS website you get a tracking number, pay less, and it gets their faster.... easy call IMO

Yes, I agree when you or I am shipping something. We dont use next day air. Nextel shipped on their dime and overnighted it. I guess I was mostly impressed by the amount of time at each destination. less than 30 min from arrival to departure times at the facility. Just think of the millions of packages they deal with each day. Like a well oiled machine.

When it got to romulus MI, the flew it on one of their planes to lansing MI. Its like a 2 hour drive by car, it had left romulus and was in lansing 33 min later. That is pretty impressive considering they were not just handling MY package I am sure.
