Had an order come from McMurray today, approx. 1100 chicks. Arrived at the Sweetgrass (US) post office at around 9am, which is when the delivery truck usually shows up... Waited till 9:30, they were running a bit late, no problem. I see a blue 4 door ford truck unloading parcels from the back...cant be??! Yes, UPS delivered my chicks from Great Falls to Sweetgrass, a 2hr 20min drive IN THE BACK OF A PICKUP TRUCK! -14 and blowing snow! You can only imagine that the chicks are not fairing to well..... Will be up early and on the phone tomorrow! Not to mention that ALL the holes in the boxes were poked out, fairly common knowledge that hot air rises, and flows out the top!...
