    Before I rant -in the future would they be willing to pick up, especially seeing the quantity?

    Begin Rant - PO not happy??? Not wanting to do their job??? And this isn't an Ebay shipment - it is to the troops overseas. Next time tell them to "suck it up" and do their job!!!! End Rant

    Good to see all the goods going overseas. Reminded me that we (my family) should also get involved again.

    Oops. It was a bit of a joke. Sorry. They would be more than willing to come pick them if I called for it. The guy helping load them into the carts is a Desert Storm Vet so it was good natured gripping.
