I am sorry to hear about your ring. I hope it gets to you soon.

I have a recent UPS story that you might enjoy:
I ordered a windshield wiper motor and transaxle unit from a place in Omaha. Got a very good price on it, and it was hard to find. They shipped it out and it got here in a few days. When the garage started to work on it, they discovered the motor was bad, so I had the guys in Omaha send me a good motor. That arrived in about a week. The garage then disassembled my dashboard to install the transaxle, only then to discover a broken part which prevents one of the wiper arms from attaching. So, I call the guys in Omaha for a good part. I figured it would only take a few days for the part to arrive, so I left my car at the garage bc the dash was taken apart. To make a long story short, a few days turned into 3 weeks and after 10 phone calls, I finally was able get the part sent to me. Keep in mind, my car has now been in the garage for almost a month. This is where UPS comes in.
I was tracking the package online and on the day it was to arrive, the garage calls me and tells me that they fixed my car. I was puzzled bc I was still waiting for the part. They told me that one of the mechanics figured out a way to fix it without the part. So when I got home, I went to the garage and checked it out. Very clever, the mechanic! So, I paid and drove the car home. Meanwhile, I am still waiting for the package. The next day, my neighbor comes over with a large box and tells me that it was delivered to her house this morning. Sure, enough, it was the good part : just in time to be of no use! I thought it was a fitting end to whole saga!
