I'm in business and I just opt for carrier pickup. They will pick up any package that weighs 70 pounds or less.
You can do the same thing from home. You can weigh your package, log into the www.usps.com site, buy your postage on line and then schedule carrier pickup for the next day. The limitations? At least one of the packages must be priority mail.

Also, UPS has real package tracking and doesn't charge extra for it, whereas the Post Office charges extra and can only tell you whether or not the carrier claims it was delivered. The biggest thing for me is the convenience factor, though. Going to the post office means spending 15 minutes waiting in line, sometimes more if it's within a month or so of Christmas. With UPS I can be done in under five minutes. The Post Office is also only open until five, requiring me to sacrifice my lunch hour, while UPS is open late. _______________________________________ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
