Countrigal -- we are currently looking into switching to Fed Ex.  Bossie just joined NFIB (some kind of assoc. for small businesses) and one of the places you can get discounts is at Fed-Ex.  The other thing about this particular shipment is that it would've had to been dropped off anyway.  It wasn't ready til 5pm.  Dontcha love those last minute projects that have to be completed NOW?

Actually, we've had this copier for a few months, and I've just in the last week learned how to run it.  It's become a matter of "Beth has the least amount of important things on her plate, therefore, she can spend 2+ hours making and organizing these copies and getting them ready to ship."

Marie - we do have that "occasional shipper" status at UPS.  Got the account number, LOVE those labels that come off my printer.  Fold 'em in two, put 'em in the envelope and attach to package!  Usually it works out that when we have to ship something, the UPS guy comes by and we just hand it to him, but every now and then, we have something that has to be dropped off b/c it wasn't ready when he got here, or it's a next day thing.

Oh, and this particular package weighed 8 lbs, but man, it felt more like 20!
