As a public service to all those on this list, it was announced today at the post office where I work (Carrollton, KY 41008), that FedEx will join UPS and Airborne in having rural mail carriers deliver their ground rate parcels. What this means to you the shipper is if you pay one of these other services to have a parcel delivered, they will bring it to us and pay us to deliver it instead of wasting their gas to drive out into the countryside and deliver it themselves! They still make money doing it this way, so common sense would dictate you would be much better off (cheaper) just mailing the parcel in the first place. No word from the USPS on how they will compensate us for this added burden, stay tuned for further developments! -- Just a message from Doug... -------------------------------------------- http://users.adelphia.net/~slugg0/index.html
