Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

  I just spent time going thru the websites for UPS and USPS to check shipping expenses.

  The USPS site was less than intuitive or forthcoming.  It mentions ground retail then
says it was rolled into Ground Advantage.  Hmmmm.  That was the only option at the USPS
facility.  Really grubby facility - but only a 5-minute walk away.  It needs a good
cleaning.

  I checked UPS.  The site was more intuitive and had more options.  I could have saved
nearly $40 and it would have taken only a few days longer.  I'll be trying it in person
when I ship the next two engines.  If the experience is good I may try the 'packing'
service which is supposedly insured.  I will be updating this thread next week.
