[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 309686, member: 484"] As a small business owner, i ship out regularly. And if I can, it is with UPS. We have our share of problems, but so do many other companies. The postal service is a tough one to compare to. They do some things very well, at a much less cost. Delivering small orders of plants, they typically do it for about 1/3 of what UPS charges, and on 50-150 boxes a day, that is some serious money. I can also fly fish from Houston TX to here, three boxes, 120 pounds total for about $95 and they get here within 24 hours. I can get a shipment from china to Ohare, 45 boxes, 2200 pounds, for about $3100. all within 36 hours, including customs clearance. As to the cost, shipping is not cheap anymore. In many cases, shipping costs more than the item is really worth. UPS has to charge what it does to continue paying as well as it does, pure and simple. But if not very careful, they can price themselves right out of business. d [/QUOTE]
