Of course, that is assuming you can get a human on the phone with them - I worked at a trucking company fr 8 years & dealt with UPS a lot - never once spoke to a human being on the phone!

I worked as a courier, and we did specialized Network jobs. Network deals with the high priority packages that FedEx ships. We were told we could upsell when picking up packages also which would usually save the customer about $100 on their next shipment.
Here's my point: FedEx(probably UPS as well) will send a courier out to expidite a package if you sound like you know what you are talking about. Tell them to get Network on the phone and get a courier out there and get you packages to you!
