Guidance on mail/package delivery to the Ephrata Training Center
Alex
Recent adventures trying to track down a package delivery in Ephrata lead to a pleasant and helpful conversation with the airport manager (Dave L.) Having chatted with several folks over the weekend I know there's widespread confusion. Here's what Dave told me:
First, you would think that mail or packages addressed to:
[[YOUR NAME HERE]]c/o Seattle Glider Council
30 Airport St NE
Ephrata, WA 98823
... would get delivered to the Training Center. At least tossed on the deck out front. Apparently not:
If USPS --> gets delivered to the Ephrata Airport
Adminstration's PO Box at the post office. The airport staff may
be able to pick this up on business days, and you may be able to
retrieve it in the airport admin office during business hours.
(This did not seem to irritate them, but maybe we shouldn't lean
on it too much?)
If UPS --> probably *does* get delivered to the Training Center
If FedEx --> may get delivered to the Training
Center, but sometimes they pass it off to USPS for final delivery,
see above.
If Amazon --> no idea what Amazon's internal
couriers may do. Amazon seems to outsource final delivery to
USPS.
Sometimes packages end up on the doorstep of the airport
admin office as well.
Dave had two suggestions:
1) If you need a package delivered to the Training Center,
try to get it shipped via UPS.
2) FWIW, Dave suggested that SGC get its own PO Box at the
Ephrata post office.
Also #1: a small package arrived at the airport office for "Linda
F Dixon", he thought it was SGC, it's now in the Training Center
on the charging-counter.
Also #2: a package arrived at the airport office for a "Dustin
Becht", no one recognizes it. Is this an SGC member, or there was
speculation it might be the aerobatics folks at KEPH? It's still
at the airport office.

Thanks Alex, I checked the member roster on our website and the name “Becht” does not come up. I will let Tom Dixon know about their package at the Training Center at our board meeting tonight.
