[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1245762, member: 50088"] One lesson from this year's peak? As expensive as air shipping is, it is clearly not expensive enough. At least as far as Christmas week goes. Amazon Prime customers get "free" 2nd day air shipping? That's nuts. Could UPS not put a hefty premium on air shipping starting the week before Christmas? Naturally, FedEx/USPS would have to follow. And shippers like Amazon needs to not offer such premium shipping for free. That was the main problem this year. Late air. Standard ground wasn't the issue. You gotta make it so that millions of people don't wait until the 22nd and 23rd to ship their crap. Sorry, but I say make it unaffordable or not worth it for most. Control the situation. If people know this going in, they'll order early as if they have a brain. [/QUOTE]
