    Why don't we start a voting system that allows the consumer to decide what is best rather than relying on your often misguided judgment.
    Because it would be hijacked by the likes of you, and by it's very nature would lead to a whirlwind of spam.

    My mistake, maybe you can tell us how you found the service.

    As i've already shown today that's happening anyway, all is not what it seems. If done correctly a voting system could be a very powerful & useful tool. You could easily add spam protection. You must realise that your recommendation post is failing otherwise there wouldn't be so many pointless questions.

    What pointless questions are you talking about?

    Pointless questions no, failing no, rid of spam yes. That's how it's been for 5 months and that's how it's going to stay.

    ...and it just so happens that your idea would benefit who most?
    Ah of course, the biggest re-sellers.

    Hope you will find it satisfactory --at least I did, and was surprised to see UPS provides eletronic signature.:j

    But why does that matter, this is a money saving site, surely the cheapest providors warrant being on the list does it matter if they are the biggest , or am i missing something here :confused:

    You seem to be really mad as Shippingmanager is on the avoid list now :)

    And yes, I can say Armitage's posts are very helpful and useful and I'm keen to help him keep this thread as it was before guys like you came and started to post spam.

    I actually found it very useful as I don't waste my time on waiting for the driver to label my parcels. I was loosing quite a lot time on TNT as their system is not automated the same way as UPS.

    Essentially one of the biggest re-sellers are not happy that they don't have exposure they want and dream of utilising their huge brand awareness to simply smother everyone else. Just another form of market control that only the biggest can wield.
