That wouldn't work now. A 90lb package would be overweight and
guaranteed to require a sizable fee (unless you know the gate

I just got email from a guy who checked a 90+ pound military boatanchor as a

I'm amazed that it survived, even if packed in a box. Can you imagine the
bang when that thing came rocketing down the conveyors?!
