An alternative to UPS

I just got off the phone with the shipper. No news yet, but he did confirm
that once we've given up hope, he'll refund my money.

Of course, what I _really_ want is for UPS to find the box. Aside from a
picture on Eric's brouhaha web site, this was the first one of the DEC
Computer Lab digital logic trainers I'd ever come across. I hate to think
that UPS has somehow managed to lose it.
