Hi Bry, FedEx may good for domestic shipments, i.e. U.S.A.-to-U.S.A., but for INTERNATIONAL deliveries --- like the U.S.A. to Canada --- FORGET it!
Like all of the other "commercials", they have the very ODIOUS habit of charging us a MINIMUM $25.00 "...brokerage fee" on everything they might carry across the 49th parallel... ...And lest you think I'm merely whining, I've a VERY strong suspicion that said policy is reciprocal on shipments from us, to you... ~73!~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bry Carling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 04, 2007 9:20 AM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] USPS Changes May 14 > USPS has been going to hell in a handbasket for some time now. > > They just get worse and worse. > > I tell them they should bui;d another post office nerar us so we > won't have to CONSTANTLY wait in line for 30-35 minutes. > They ignore me.
