Just a little fun story to share - at least it gave my wife and I a good laugh.....
Our UPS delivery guy has the be the nosiest one of all. I would say we get 3-4 UPS deliveries a month - this guy has been our delivery driver for over 8 years now.
Every time he hands you a package, he looks at the return address, and will state what he thinks is in the box. He's got B&H and Adorama down now as being "camera stuff". However I like it when I get a package from Amazon because it can be just about anything under the sun. He had a problem with "TDI PARTS" for the longest time when I was working on a couple of our VW diesels - after a couple weeks of his guessing I finally gave in and told him that they were Volkswagen TDI (turbo diesel) parts.
Well, my K-5 came back from CRIS last week via UPS - my wife was home to sign for the package. The return label said "Pentax" - so he asks my wife if this was our tax return that was done......we live in Pennsylvania, so I guess he assumed a tax outfit was called "Pentax". Now if the return address said "Canon" or "Nikon" I'm sure he would have guessed right - just goes to show what kind of brand awareness Pentax really has.
My wife didn't let on - just said "I don't know what it is - it's addressed to my husband" - I can almost bet you when he gets home at night he has a whole list of names that he looks up on Google.
