Give me an education about this "PIRATE SHIP" method that has been discussed here.

And now i get to drop off my packages at a UPS store, pretty close to my neighborhood, up the street from me.
And there is quite a nice Q T Pie, behind the counter, for her customers.
Everything's working out nicely, for this old man. lol

With UPS shipments, you can just hand them off to any driver. An intake just arrived and I handed him an air cleaner. Didn't have to even leave the shop.
FedEx will not permit that.

It sounds like it's working out as well for you as it has for me. Happy to hear it!!
