    The post office is very easy, may NOT be the cheapest but every town has a PO..........

    The flat rate boxes work GREAT for heavy crap jammed in a box, but not so great for light crap. Remember that with a FR box that ANYTHING you JAM in there is still the same flat rate. You have to think it out - You may pay the 12$ flat rate and miss out on the 8$ Priority Mail.

    If I sell parts (which is fairly rare) I ship them Parcel Post which is about 60% give or take of Priority Mail and it all gets there.

    Parts in themselves are so difficult to get any $$ for these days so why FK yourself on shipping?? Give people the option on the shipping..........

    Parcel Post makes people MAD, it can take 10 or more WEEKDAYS but again, if it's your nickel it's not your problemma..........

    It's really gotten out of hand as of late. We need a 10$ part and it's 12$ to ship it. Then the PO cries poverty, wants to quit Sat delivery and continues to raise the costs.

    It's just another sign of the country going to hell...... We ought to cover our girls with potato sacks, carry a fire arm and give it up to our LEADER!!

    Thats a whole other post/topic guys

    BOT, I always liked Fedex, but as of late, everyone is super expensive to ship through........................................... ...
