A tale of two courier services

[backerman]

• UPS: Won't hold a package at the station until delivery has been attempted at least once. Won't specify delivery time with any precision (the latest InfoNotice^SM says 1030-1700). Can't pick up on the same day as an attempted delivery.
• Airborne ExpressDHL: Held for pickup prior to attempted delivery with no problems. As a bonus, the station is open on Saturdays.

Neither has the über-l33t near-realtime tracking of COSMOS, but you can't have everything.

Thankfully, most services will leave the package at my apartment complex's office if I'm gone. Otherwise, the timing of the UPS guy is known and reliable to me (1:00pm +/- 10 minutes), so if I need to be there because it's something big I want right at my door, I can :)
