@c.sam posted:Just this week I bought a MTH steamer from CT that was shipped UPS ground on Monday and it arrived here in Western NC about 50 miles from me on Wed about 0400 and was on the truck at 0430. I got it just after noon. Two days from up there is pretty good in my book!
Selling off a lot of our collection I have been shipping from CT the past 6 months. Using PirateShip.com - free discounted shipping labels - everything I have shipped east of the Mississippi with UPS Ground was quick (2-3 days) and heavily discounted. Because of the discount I have been able to add in $1-2 to the shipping cost to account for shipping supplies (boxes, tape, bubble wrap - all expensive these days), get people the purchases as quickly as USPS Priority and at a lower cost. Same site has good discounts on USPS services as well. Anyone going to the post office or paying counter rates for any of the shippers is overpaying. Pretty sure I and others have brought this up before, so hopefully not new news to many.
