UPS is not based in Atlanta.

http://www.ups.com/content/corp/contact/

UPS Corporate Headquarters
55 Glenlake Parkway, NE
Atlanta , GA 30328

Atlanta-based UPS (NYSE: UPS) said it will provide logistics expertise, transportation and warehousing to local Red Cross disaster services coordinators in the event of a large-scale emergency

At one time, all packages went through Atlanta. Now, it seems their main hub is in Louisville, which is also experiencing bad weather.

This is a big BUMMER!!!! I hate Fedex

Also. "With FedEx Priority Overnight service, you'll enjoy guaranteed 10:30 a.m. arrival to most addresses."

Even priority overnight doesnt mean the package will arrive at 10:30 to every address. It just isnt possible especially for people in the "boondocks" or places like I live.

The UPS truck shows up at my house at the same time every time regardless if the package was shipped priority or just plain overnight. Honestly paying for priority is a waste of money. Jim from chamco. has told me both times he shipped a package to me, "You know when the UPS truck arrives, thats when they will be there"

Do you live in the middle of nowhere?

Maybe they will sort stuff out with fedex and help to make the shipping more reliable and secure. We'll see.
