					<description>My husband's fathers day gift has been in Hodgkins for the past six days because of &quot;inclement weather.&quot; So he won't have it for father's day, but at least it's not out on one of the trucks, where it might get washed away by the floods, or blown away to Oz by one of the tornados, or abandoned on one of the washed out highways near Chicago. Did anybody see the photos? Houses floating away down the streets, upside down cars, whole roofs flying through the air like frisbees.  If I were a UPS driver, I wouldn't go out in that kind of weather either. 
But I sure wish I asked for US Post Office mail this time.</description>

					<description>Another pkg lost in limbo land can't wait to see it's condition, hope it arrives before my retirement party. Ups and Fedex are as obtuse as it get's.  Hire some more morons to handle shipping.</description>

					<description>&quot;gloriously inequitable capitalistic system and just trying to break even&quot;

One poster doesn't like capitalism.  Well, I understand that.  In this system we get paid what we are worth and sometimes we don't like that.
Mirrors hurt.</description>

					<description>I couldn't resist posting! For the first time I noticed this Hodgkins, Indiana scan. Usually, actually every time I have received a UPS package in the last five or so years it has shown just the Hodgkins, Illinois scans and NEVER the Indiana scan until today. So what do I do? Like y'all I google to see just where this Hodgkins Indiana is and get this as the top search result! Too funny. But I am glad to know it is simply a trailer jockeying place over the state line (I'm in the Chicago area). 

Kinda odd that I have never had this Indiana scan before, ever. But I guess there's a first time for everything. Oh, and don't bach UPS employees too much. Like most people they are caught in the middle of our gloriously inequitable capitalistic system and just trying to break even and finding it harder and harder to do everyday cause we all bend over for the immediate gratification consumer based capitalism has trained us to expect. Frankly, if you even get your package consider it a modern luxury and shut up, you're really not that important anyway...</description>

					<description>Comments still going strong on this one after 2 years!

I too have just been puzzled by this Hodgins, IN, after seeing one of my packages is there. I got damn curious and had to find it, when it didn't appear on any maps I hit google...

I think this shows that social/community-computing/interaction (what ever you wanna call it) is a powerful and useful phenomenon.</description>

					<description>the whole thing is run by a computer system if one operator makes a mistake and keys in a n insted of a l its going to show up on the site like that. also ups can not be held responsible for your mistake or newegg's mistake of  mistyping your adress i had this happen once before microsoft butchered my address and my package was delayed once i looked at the lable it had the wrong zipcode and my street was mispelled. also boxes today are cheep i had a speaker sent to me and the box was a single wall with only tape holding the flaps together on the bottom so no wonder why the box looked like crap when it arived.</description>

					<description>For the record, Newegg.com is processing a full refund to my account, and unless I make a further comment here in the future, I am very happy with them and will try to do business with them again in the future.  UPS tried to deliver the package three days later, after it made the round trip to the HODGKINS, IL Twilight Zone and back.  I refused it.  I will choose another carrier in the future, I'm so tired of UPS.  Just this past Christmas they mis-delivered a package to an address five blocks away from mine and only the fact that a nice man at that address came and delivered to me at my home after he returned from Christmas vacation kept the package from being a total loss.  Of course, I had already made arrangements with the vendor to file the claim and re-ship the merchandise, some of which was sold out and I had to substitute items I didn't really want, and of course, the gifts weren't under the tree on Christmas morning. I forgave all that because I know the holiday rush is crushing for all the delivery services, but this latest incident made me remember it.</description>
