The other side of the coin

I have a UPS story too. Bought one of the micro-sized comp0utrers - a fit-PC2 made in Israel. UPS despatch on 23rd July. In Brsbane on 31st July and there it still sits. The reason given on their tracking page is that we are in a remote location and deliveries are not made regularly. It is hard to figure since I am close enough to see the wretched skyglow from Brisbane, barely 40 nautical miles as the crow flies from Brisbane airport, on a main btumen road that trucks have to cross to go to most regional centres arround me and yet, I am too remote to be able to deliver. It took longer to get from Haifa to Brisbane than it is taking to go the last 100km.
UPS may be good at getting things from country to country but not much chop at all at delivering outside the metropolitan area.
