UPS would love to reduce its rates. It would mean more business for them. Dave N |

UPS would love to reduce its rates. It would mean more business for them. I'd like to see that in writing. For domestic shipping, FedEx is often cheaper than USPS (I don't have the option of using FedEx or UPS, since I'm at a military APO). The upside of this is, if I DID use FedEx for US shipping, it would cost me over $200 for a 20lb parcel.. but USPS charges only for shipping from San Francisco to any point stateside. |

One of my regional delivery services, Lone Star Overnight, now adds a "Fuel Surcharge" to all deliveries. It's about $1.50 to $2.00 for a run of about 180 miles. Bob k5qwg |

Bob k5qwg It's the same in other industries too. We received a rate increase from our power company because of fuel costs. |
