Rex, I don't have a business degree. After my fisheries degree I attended IU's business school, but was only there a year as I couldn't afford to go back. Decided to open my own business instead, which I've been at 30 plus years. Really didn't have anything in common with the rich yuppies in the business school anyway. My twin brother does have a degree from the I.U. business school.
Just shipped the same box USPS for $8.30 vs. $28.53. That included free insurance and it will be at the customer's business tomorrow. And btw USPS does FREE pick up.
Now what makes more business sense? Paying $28.52 or $8.30 for the same service?
And once in a long while USPS may screw up a shipment. It's still cheaper to replace a fish than it is to be gouged on a regular basis. If I paid out 71 percent more on a regular basis�
UPS, any day...USPS is the least efficient operation there is...no guarantee of delivery...overnight is 2-4 days, priority mail is not a priority...and the postal service knows to use fedex and UPS to move the mail....hardly the "same' service. Just got a check today for a sale 6-8 weeks ago...postal service lost his first 2 sent...I want reliability...as they say, you get what you pay for....
