I always thought UPS ground was the cheapest shipping method. Cost to ship my stuff: UPS Ground $58 FedEx Ground $38 And FedEx only takes 2 business days. Roland, you should contact the company controller directly and get things in order. You have that kind of pull at UPS, right? 😉 ---

I didn’t check USPS, now I have to go look. $58 by USPS if I take the same insurance. Shipping is cheaper, but they get you on insurance. ---

Yea i tried shipping something b/c fedex and they wanted 30+ for it and then i took it to USPS and i payed like 10. The lady even at the post office said that Fedex and UPS are good for large things, but the post office most likly will give you a price on smaller items. ---

> [@slowcamaro](#): > > fuck fedex…ordered my dvd from chicago and still isnt here…its been a week come monday… Did the company give you a tracking number to see when it was shipped? Maybe the company you bought from sucks.
