[QUOTE="ddomino, post: 58857"] Rush, you are so right. I see so many pkgs with the outer loop Louisville KY. I to know we have a piece of that pie. I think sprint is also one. They use 2nd day air asd labels to return bad cell phones. wwwFlowers.com or [url="http://www.1800flowers.com"]www.1800flowers.com[/url] uses this same service at valentines day and mothers day.
