If I lived in Alaska I think I would rather have Good Wood Delivery than Good Elecraft Delivery. Willis 'Cookie' Cooke, TDXS DX Chairman K5EWJ & Trustee N5BPS, USS Cavalla, USS Stewart

UPS only delivers on weekdays. Their 2-day always takes 3-days; USPS Priority Mail delivery is typically 3 days but can take 5-days. Parcel Post is 20-day (min). UPS Ground to Alaska was not always available but now it is. I don't use it much but would say 7-days is good. UPS ground from my Anchorage electronic supply house is overnight if I get the order in by 3pm. Of course that is not on weekends. Cost of UPS/Fedex - Ha! If the vendor only ships 2-day that can be a minimum of $50, no matter that the part cost $2.30. Therefore, I do not chose UPS or Fedex and often chose my vendor based on whether they will send USPS Priority Mail. Note Parcel Post rates to AK just jumped so it costs about 90% of choosing Priority Mail. PP is history for AK. I like free shipping! Yeah, you are paying for that in the price of the goods ordered. But isn't "everyone" offering this! 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com "Kits made by KL7UW" Dubus Mag business: dubus...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to wrco...@yahoo.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
