Kudos to John for bringing some humor into an otherwise monotonous thread (I'm not being sarcastic here). I eat snacks in front of my Elecraft so a discussion of potato chips is warranted too, LOL. The irony is that despite my initial ask (which I think only three people actually understood and addressed; the rest responded with irrelevant opinion), I find myself reading most of the thread. To the original poster (Ted I think? I was a while back): In the interest of staying on topic: despite your frustration with the cost of the UPS Store service, the explanation is also revealed what you wrote: the alternative - nearest UPS depot - was a 90 mile round trip. You pay for the convenience of having a drop-off location close by, not having to pay high fuel costs for a 90 mile drive, not having to spend a minimum of 3 hours for that effort, etc. In the interest of getting off topic: I've had loads of success with USPS Priority, and there's probably a real USPS office near your location. I do understand your frustration with the price. I grumble every time the cost of potato chips goes up. A family size bag cost $2.45 just a few years ago. Now it's just under $5.00, and I swear the bag is smaller and it's filled with more air, fewer chips. Oh jeez, here we go with the potato chips. My KX2 is out for delivery today! I'm going to celebrate by having a snack in front of it. Speaking of USPS, many thanks to Madelyn & Elecraft for such a prompt delivery. The KX2 left Elecraft in California at 3 pm Monday and will be delivered in Maine less than 48 hour later. That's 2,700 miles in less than 2 days and cost me just $32.46 via USPS, and all I did was sit on my butt. Eating chips. 73, -Andrew NV1B ..
