I have seen it several times. I'm not sure how they experience so many derailments. You would think something needs to be changed/fixed.

UPS accidentally teleported one of my packages across the country a few weeks back.  At least they know where your stuff is

Probably just an excuse to not deliver your package by Christmas Eve...

Yeah...sure..."train derailment"

Back when I worked for SP, a package we were expecting was delayed by a derailment on one of our lines.
I got the derailment report that morning and the package delay notice that night.

If you could see how many ton/miles are traveled between derailments you wouldn't thing so.  There are literally thousands of trains run every day, a derailment that results in a delay to a UPS shipment happens once every few months, tops.

Happened to me a couple years ago. Surprisingly, the package was only delayed 2-3 business days.

I had an M1 from the CMP do a tour of the country - really - until I finally got it. It seemed to like Memphis, as it would go there and then go somewhere else  and go back to Memphis.
I think I have Elvis's M1, 10 K and it is yours, - I'll provide shipping records, It was horrible to see my M1
traveling the country.

Sorry to break it to you, but that's probably a lie this time, or they're trying to use the UP Mojave sub derailment as an excuse for every late package.

Derailments do happen all the time, but right now during UPS peak season with the railroad, they'll spend like $10k to truck something across the country to try to make it in time.

I bought this computer in 2007 and have it beefed up as much as I can. I have very few problems with it.  Every computer at work they have purchased in the last 5 years with all the new operating systems, have been total crash machines. Every one of them! i'll stick to XP for what I do, it works.

Is a derailment always a piled up shitstorm or do they just fall off sometimes, no sweat, crane 'em back on and life's grand?

A couple of years ago my package's delivery status was changed to delayed due to train wreck.  The package was full of ammo.  I thought I would never see it again because it was ammo.  But, it arrived two days later.  UPS came through on that one!

I was at a gun shop earlier today and the owner was commenting that she was waiting on some guns that were derailed somewhere and that this was the 2nd time this year.

They usually aren't as big or bad as you think.  My FIL works for the RR, he gets called to one or two a week, usually low speed in the yards, assholes running switches.  It just takes some time to get everything back on the tracks and moving again.
