    Hey guys,

    Just wondering if anyone sent anything with UPS?

    Do they have vans out here in Tramore or do they get taxi's to collect from my door?

    Thing is, I sent my phone off to apple for reapir through their mailin service to the UK.

    Rang UPS yesturday and the woman said a collection would be scheduled for today.

    Today a taxi driver from Dublin showed up looking for the parcel (my iPhone) and signed the docket I got with the repair ket from apple as proof of collection.

    I was expecting a UPS van to come and I'd get a reciept but the taxi driver didn't issue these as he was in a taxi and not a van.

    I did give it to him without hesitation and now all I have is his name :P

    The main thing that's worrying me right now is I am tracking my phone on UPS'es website and they still didn't receive it. Hmm..

    Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

    They're closed now for the weekend :(

    However, it should have arrived in their depot in Dublin by now? Is their depot open 24/7?

    Surely they would of scanned it. Getting real annoyed now. Thought they were great but all they kept doing yday was putting me onto their tracking department, which, I can do online.

    Yeah my home button is faulty and my warranty is up on the 16th so I figured I'd get it done before the warranty ran out cause the problem was getting worse.

    I have had a taxi deliver or collect from me on behalf of UPS. When there isn't a huge demand for a service in a particular are they will use a taxi!
