Waiting for such an anticipated package seems to always take longer than any other kind of waiting. Hang in there! Can't wait to see pics once its arrived!

Had to laugh at the posts here! I am a UPS delivery guy and love it when I see those packages I just know have a guitar in them. They always get EXTRA special care from me. I usually try to casually ask the customer what they got without seeming too nosey, but you know I get curious! :D

Wait? Waiting is for amateurs! :lol:

I go and pick them up at the UPS facility before the trucks take off! Seriously. At my local UPS, they're perfectly fine with you showing up at 8 AM or so and asking for whatever it to is, to be pulled off the trucks and handing it to you.

Matter of fact, I did that very thing this morning! My new (used from MF) Sienna Sunburst AmStd, is getting acclimated to indoor temps as I write this!

So um, yeah ... I can relate to the torture known as "waiting for the brown santa"! Now I just have to wait for lunch so I can open her up!


Thats the thing though, I do not think they are are willing this at every UPS facility, so this may not be a possibility everywhere...Besides, I figure I paid for delivery, so I might as well let them earn their money... :P

Haha!

"Uh, 'frah-gee-lay.' It must be Italian!"

It always seems like there is more truck traffic when you're expecting something. I know that feeling all to well.

Might be but I'm pretty sure that's not his picture, nor his house. Certainly MF didn't ship the guitar in that wooden crate! :lol:

Well, different strokes and all that ... 8)

Me, I'd rather go pick it up because:

A) I'm impatient. (isn't that the point of this thread?)
B) I don't want a guitar sitting out in 7º F temps while I'm at work.
C) I'm impatient.
D) It reduces the risk of theft from sitting out in plain view at my front porch.
E) I'm impatient.
F) Drivers sometimes don't get to my house until 7 or 8 PM at night.
G) I'm impatient
H) The "deliveries between 7 AM - 7 PM" thing.

Did I say I was impatient?

So, to avoid the wait and/or remove risk from weather or theft - I go pick it up. Takes all of 20 minutes. I can't speak for all areas but the three parts of the US I've lived, UPS didn't have a problem with it. Besides, I didn't pay for shipping - MF did! :lol:

Congrats on the new guitar, Kong!
