We have also received excellent service from Airborne.  As a matter of
fact, the gentlemen who picks up our deliveries on a regular basis has
made us a "regular" stop every afternoon (his suggestion - not ours).  We
don't have to call for a pick up because as long as it is waiting at the
front desk for him by 3:30 or 4:00 pm, it will be picked up.  Anything
that can't be prepared by then, we take to a drop box located in the
building right next to us and it will be picked up by 6:00 pm.

We've had excellent service from Airborne Express. We have not requested
pick-up at the office unless we've had alot of proposals going out or the
size of the proposal has been too big for us to handle. Normally we take
the proposal to a drop-off box located on campus.
