My status just recently went "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active" - so I have started the process of waiting for my plastic in the mail. I've read a few posts recently that stated some applicants have been receiving their plastic via UPS (brown trucks). Can any of you guys confirm this as a delivery method or did some people just receive overnight service after getting their local government officials involved in the process? I ask because the difference between receiving mine via USPS and UPS actually will make a significant difference in how I check to see if it's gotten here or not (apartment complex has an odd mail delivery routine). Has anyone who recently got their plastic gotten it the old fashioned way - via USPS?
Thanks

Re: Delivery via UPS?
I received mine via UPS, but I believe most receive theirs through regular mail. My State Rep was involved with my completion and shipping.

Re: Delivery via UPS?
I think UPS is only used when state representatives are involved. I received mine via UPS and I too involved my state representative.

Then why not use certified U.S. mail?KBCraig wrote:For delivery confirmation, no doubt.BigBlueDodge wrote:I think UPS is only used when state representatives are involved. I received mine via UPS and I too involved my state representative.
Re: Delivery via UPS?
You can get confirmed UPS delivery without having someone at home to sign for it. When I get a certified mail notice, I have to play tag with the post office for days before I can actually pick it up.Liko81 wrote:Then why not use certified U.S. mail?KBCraig wrote:For delivery confirmation, no doubt.BigBlueDodge wrote:I think UPS is only used when state representatives are involved.

Re: Delivery via UPS?
Got my plastic today via good ol' USPS - looks like the UPS treatment is so DPS can have proof of delivery to those that involved their state Reps.
