(21,020 posts)even when the price goes up, we're still going to keep it because we buy enough to more than cover the cost
Plus...I have it set up so I'm notified via text message when my items have shipped, and when they're delivered. Now some would say, why wouldn't you know when your own items have been delivered?
I live on a road that is bad in the winter. One of my neighbors down the hill has a business in town, and so UPS will drop off my packages to her and she drops them off here on her way home from work. If she signs for them, it shows up that way, so if I ever don't get a package, I can show it was delivered in town but not to me. PS...sometimes the UPS guy has to leave them in the door of my neighbor's business when nobody is there, so lots of chances for someone to walk away with them.
