UPS in a remote area

I ordered something recently that uses UPS as their delivery method. Normally, neither FedEx or UPS deliver in most areas of Alaska. Instead, they both send it to the Post Office and the Post Office forwards it on. This makes for some longer delivery times and some interesting delivery stories.

When the rain calmed down and I was finally able to check the status of my delivery, here is what the UPS site said:

"Your package has experienced an exception.

Your shipment is currently within the UPS network; however, an unforeseen event has occurred which could result in a change to the Scheduled Delivery Date.

THE ADDRESS IS IN A REMOTE AREA AND DELIVERIES ARE NOT MADE DAILY."
