In my case the local depot is going to “lose” your package unless you call immediately to their customer service line and force them to put it on a truck for delivery the next day. And then once the truck comes the delivery person will walk on your lawn, will ignore the stairs to your porch, and instead will throw your package over the porch railing resulting in at least a 4ft drop for the package, which more than likely will break it.

Luckily for my framework it came via FedEx Express for some reason, and it has to be signed for so that person actually came to the door and I actually got the package in hand instead of it being dropped.

In my case DHL hands off to the USPS, which is better than FedEx in my area… Let that sink in, USPS, handles packages better than a company whose entire job is to handle packages.

Telnyx, they’re very well known, and they run their own network (so it’s extremely stable) and it’s pretty cheap. Plus you can use Hosted SMS if you want to add SMS capabilities to existing numbers, even land line numbers.
