My experience as well. Same guy most of the time and really nice. He kids me about all the cigars I get. But it's kinda funny ... now he tells me when a neighbor gets cigars too. I met a nice lady down my street who loves cigars. We've now had a smoke several times.

I think the company has policies but a lot of what you get has to do with the personality/character of the driver as well.

Joel, nice comments.... :)
I talk to our UPS guy frequently when he drops things off. We are lucky....he's a great guy and we live in an area where we always get the same driver.

Same thing here....

I don't know why. For someone unfamiliar with guitars (and there are more of them than us), a name on a box means nothing. "Taylor" or "Gibson" carry as much weight as "Skippy" or "Saran Wrap". Most people don't know the values of guitars. There's nothing wrong with that, considering most people have no need to.
i had a guitar shipped in chips ahoy cardboard boxes that were folded flat, outlined & cut to fit the contours of the case :o

i guess the shipping company was not a fan of chocolate chips, but fortunately the guitar was received without any "crunching" ;)
it's not about what you play,
it's all about why you play ...
