			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My UPS package was apparently delayed.  I just checked the status on their site and it is currently in Commerce City, CO with the 2am status &#8216;EMERGENCY CONDITIONS BEYOND UPS&#8217; CONTROL&#8217;.  What exactly does that mean?  It was the middle of the night and no storms that I know of.  Did the truck get tipped over?  Argh.</p>
<p>Update (2009/7/9 at 4:24pm):  I still need to make a few calls and see if someone at UPS knows what is going on.  However, there a now two more entries on the tracking pages, all of them are listed at 2am though I know the two new entries were recently added (within the last hour or so).  The first says &#8216;EMERGENCY CONDITIONS BEYOND UPS&#8217; CONTROL&#8217; again.  The second says &#8216;THE PACKAGE WAS MISSED AT THE DESTINATION LOCATION&#8217;.  Does that mean that the package was lost in transit from Salina KS to Commerce City CO?  Not sure&#8230;  Hopefully a phone call or two will provide some answers.</p>
<p>Update (2009/7/9 at 6:42pm): Thanks to a visitor who posted a link to a <a href="http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=119137">9news story</a> concerning what happend to our packages.  I never got around to calling, but this story pretty much answers my questions.  Turns out there was a fire at the shipping center.  ~500 packages were damaged and the rest are delayed a few days.  Unlucky!</p>
<p>Final Update (2009/7/12 at 2:22pm): Yesterday the status of my package was updated with &#8216;DEPARTURE SCAN&#8217; at 4:11am.  Looks like it should be here in a few days.  Hopefully not too many packages were delayed much more than this.</p>
<p>Actual Final Update (2009/7/13 at 8:16pm): The package was delivered later this afternoon.</p>
