Has anyone ever had a successful delivery from UPS?

Why would someone want to have two addresses? So what if your address is 250 years old. If delivery companies can't or won't deliver to you, what's the point?

Um. Cuz that's the way it's done in the VI? And, frankly, the USPS has no problem recognizing the original Danish addresses, which most C'sted business STILL USE. As to WHY the USPS decided to impose a second set of addresses, and WHY FedEx now refuses to recognize the original ones that the USPS STILL DOES, you'd have to ask them. I've long since given up looking for logic in the VI.

Yes, got a package today from UPS without even a phone call. Can't ask for better than that!

Really? I find just the opposite. Very few businesses downtown still use the old Danish addresses. If you don't want to get deliveries, use what ever address you like. But don't complain when the truck passes you buy.

I worked in downtown C'sted for 10 years and I disagree. That said, I don't complain because I'm not stupid enough to pay UPS or FedEx's ridic prices.
