Hey, just an FYI that the major carriers all just upped their pricing, so everything online is more expensive.
From Northern KY to Indianapolis area for a 6x6x6 package that weighs 1.2 pounds going GROUND:
DHL: 15.67
UPS: 15.98
FEX: Tipped the scales at 48.96 for Priority (early AM delivery)
and finally, our much-maligned USPS.....
Priority One w/ Tracking: 6.48
And we complain about the mail.....LOL

The post office is the only delivery company that is not raising rates for gas (yet)If i remember correctly there is suppose to be an increase early next year,though if it goes up one or two cents,(as is the average)that obviously doesnt add up to the rising fuel cost. And to bust another myth, no we dont get raises every time a stamp goes up.Our contract is good for another four years and our wages do not get adjusted for postage increases. And one more thing, The mailman is not a traveling mapquest. Stop asking us for d**n directions. ;D hugs and kisses bye bye. p.s. mine and my sons attacktix seem to be breaking at an accelerated level, anyone else?
