Actually for all of my photography needs I use the store Photo Connection in Colchester. Kind of makes me think of how much do I need something before driving to purchase it.

I ordered a camera and extra battery from B&H. They were shipped in two different packages on 9/6. The camera was shipped "expedited delivery" and arrived 9/10. The battery was shipped "standard delivery" and still hasn't arrived as of 9/19.

Please contact cs@bhphoto.com. Include the original order number.

Why do you call UPS (3 characters) Brown (5 characters) but you call FedEx, FedEx, not White?

Because I spent 29 years as an over the road truck driver and UPS is known (on the road) as simply "Brown". Number of characters has nothing to do with it...

U-P-S is three syllables. Brown is (technically) only one (brau̇n). So Brown is shorter that U-P-S, while FedEx is alreay only two. And while FedEx trucks are white, so are a lot of other major company trucks. UPS's big brown truck is a known quantity and gets to be called brown.

Did I really just spend time constructing this explanation? I must be really bored.

I took the time to read it, but I'm not bored and simply procrastinating as I ponder today's chores. Retirement is tough.

You are one of the luck ones. In my area, the brown truck rules. FedEx service is terrible for my area and I don’t live in a rural area!

My heart bleeds for you. There ought to be some sort of program to help alleviate your suffering. I have noticed that retirement (for the most part) is an age related illness. Procrastination, however, is not so discriminating an affliction. It can strike anyone at any ....
