Here's our latest UPS horror story. My wife had ordered three boxes
of foam wreath cores. Two of them arrived when expected, and the
third arrived several days later. Upon opening the box all the cores
were broken. It turns out UPS crushed the original box, poured the
broken contents into

Hi all,
If it's available in your area, DHL is the shipper of choice now a
days. And more importantly in most cases they will come to your door
for pick-ups at no cost. I sent a large package weighing 53 lbs. for a
cost of only $37.00 from OR to Eastern TX. Ground transport in 4 days.

UPS has gotten weird on large shipments.
It is because there is so much e-commerce with small package shipping.
UPS now looks at a large package and says, Hmmm I could get 9-$6.00 packages
in the same space that the large package takes up, so I should charge
$54.00 to ship the large package!
Wasn't me! Besides I would have charged even more!

Actually, try seeing how long it takes to box something up and take it to the post
office. Add in the box and stuffing and it ain't cheap. It is a real money looser
for the small guys. The big companies are better equipped, but it still costs more
than the actual price of the stamp.
