This is the important thing. We purchased a marble table in India about 4 years ago and since it was broken down into 8 separate parts, we asked the guy we purchased it from to FedEX it all to Alaska since he had an outlet in Texas as well and could ship it there first. When we got back, 3 days later, 7 packages arrived and the main table top still hadn't. Apparently UPS mistook Fairbanks, AK (Alaska) for Arkansas and the package was floating aimlessly there. UPS was nice enough to expedite it back up to Alaska in 2 days after the mistake was realized and fixed and the package arrived unharmed.
