that it was $2 cheaper than UPS and can also be tracked online. I just
switched my business shipping from UPS to FedEx.

In an attempt to start another thread that hopefully won't erupt in flames,
I'd like to share something.
Yesterday I placed the Aztec Gold into the mail to ship it across to the
first recipient. This is what the post office charge and what they would
have charged:
Express Mail (Overnight) $21.05
Priority Mail (2 Days) $8.55
Parcel Post (8 days) $6.32
Delivery Confirmation = .45
I sent it Priority Mail, with delivery confirmation for a grand total of
$9.00. Now, what does my nine bucks get me? Nothing. I can't track it,
only Express Mail can be tracked and I wasn't going to pay $21.00 to do
that. All I get is delivery confirmation and, although that's helpful, I
want to know where it is, where it's going, where it's help up at, etc, etc.
Now, checking the UPS website:
UPS 2nd Day (2 Business Days) $14.57
UPS 3 Day Select (3 Business Days) $12.33
UPS Ground (5 business Days) $8.07
5 Business days and eight dollars and I get to track it all the way on it's
journey. And, since I am anal about things like this, for me, in the
future, I'll be using UPS.
And, speaking of the Aztec Gold Postal Letterbox, feel free, everyone, to
