My problems were with UPS. The time they destroyed my entries for the
second round of the AHA Nationals resulted in my insurance claim being
better than any of the prizes in the competition.
I suspect package shipment is going to be even more difficult as a
result of the September 11 events.

On Oct. 1, I sent 2 entries with FedEx to Fargo for their Hoppy
Holloween competition. Tracking indicates the package got as far as
the Mpls/StP airport, but no trace of package has been found since
then and they're still looking. I think they figured out it was beer
and drank them. Dave Trautman with the PHC says he never got them.
Good thing for them they're not in the package delivery business.
Oops, what a minute ... they are! I seem to remember Steve Piatz
having a similar experience, but I don't remember if it was FedEx.
