Unfortunatly, UPS seems to have a corner on the inexpensive-package shipping market. I decided to compare UPS with Federal Express for a package I sent (via UPS) today. The pakage went from Rochester, NY to Culver City, CA and weighed two pounds. UPS --- Standard Ground $2.60 Two Day Air (Blue) $4.00 (Add $4.00 for first pickup during the week. Additional pickups are n/c) FedEx ----- Two Day Standard Air $10.50 (Add $3 for pickup service) We regularly receive packages from UPS from our suppliers (on the order of 5-20 packages a day). I can't think of the last time a package was lost or late getting to us. We have stuff shipped to us standard ground, two-day (blue-label) and one-day (red-label). We also ship a smaller number of packages out via UPS and have not had problems with packages being damaged, late or lost. Now, can we get back to the Mac? ObMac Question: Anyone know of a batch un-binexer and un-stuffer? Jeff
