I ship many, many packages for my art business and I must comment the friendly men and women of the UPS store on North Avenue in Brookfield. They have helped me look up address details when they suspect something is incomplete, have called me with questions and send lovely e-mails with all tracking details which I can easily forward to clients and look like a hero.
Although I have all the packing for our run-of-the-mill packages; they have also packaged some unusual or very expensive pieces and I've been absolutely flabbergasted by the care they take to make sure the works are well protected.
Recently, a UPS store opened just 5 blocks from my home; so far, I haven't gone in because I keep having that one package which needs special care with each batch. To drive 5 miles instead of 5 blocks is not something I do. Ever. Not Ever? No, Never. Not Ever? Well, Hardly ever! (Kudos to Gilbert and Sullivan for that last line.)
