e-mail from the PRN LISTregarding the warning a company gives about the terrible service provided by UPS. You have to visit the site to get the full affect, but on the chance they are forced to change it, see copy below:

"UPS GROUND DISCLAIMER - Please check this box to
indicate that you have read this notice about UPS Ground.
UPS Ground is a very slow and clumsy service (it is not unlike
a crippled, drunken turtle with astigmatism).
It can take over 2 weeks for your shipment to reach you if you
select this shipping method. If the UPS truck is full, there is a
chance that your package will be towed behind the truck
(at least it will look like it was). Your shipment may also be
kicked (probably more than once) by a UPS driver who's
annoyed that the package was heavy. We want you to know
this up front.
To put it bluntly, UPS Ground stinks, but we offer it because
many of our customers insist on the lowest priced shipping
option available, and UPS Ground is it. The problem is primarily
the fault of the UPS sorting facility in Cach, Illinois. Just about
every "Ground" shipment we send out West goes through this hub.
The Cach facility will sit on the shipment for 3 or 4 days, and then
send a package that is bound for Seattle, instead to Florida.
We're hoping that UPS reads this because they've got a real
problem there that needs to be fixed. If you are going to need
your order delivered to you in less than 2 weeks, please select
another shipping method (like UPS 3 Day Select). If you do
select UPS Ground, please don't write us scathing Emails
screaming at us about where your shipment is. We tried to
warn you.
Thank you."
