Shipping is insane...

never had a delay with usps. most of the time it gets there a day or two early.
yea there tracking is a little slow but atleast they take of your stuff an never lose it or break or damage yourt stuff

7 business days to get across the country is a little slow compared to other shippers. And all shippers break packages, some just worse than others //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Local rail company is up 25points from the beginning of the year and it was cheap stock too, less than 50 bucks i think. So you would have 1.5x your money if you wouldve bought it at the beg of the year.

The good thing about living in a broke *** state is you can only fall so far. And since we have a ton of coal this oil crisis may actually end up helping us. Except for the fact we are like the 6th highest state in gas prices

USPS is horrible. I would like them better if they offered tracking, because it makes it hard for the seller (or buyer) if you can't track it.

it once took two weeks (12 business days for them) for USPS to ship a xbox game from northern cali to seattle.

It's the size of the box I'm shipping it in. It's extremely light (it's a hockey goalie chest protector, so it's big, but light).

that wasn't in an 18x18x18 box. You hit a certain size and there are surcharges.

What sucks is it's not like I'm selling it for a few hundred bucks and the shipping price doesn't add much to the total cost, I'm selling it for $85 so shipping is almost half the price of what I'm asking for the item alone...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Buy stock in railroad companies, the shipping companies are using railcars to transport goods now as it is cheaper //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Ive seen 20+ ups/fedex/dhl trucks on the back of railcars lately

you are definitely right on that one man. the good old days of cheap oil and long haul trucking are about to die... trains are much more efficient for long distances.
