Tom, Thanks for the info. I ship USPS ground advantage, and have had good results. Most of the time I am shipping lower end posters and most of the time I can send a replacement if necessary. Most customers like this cheaper option, the only reason I shipped Fedex was a request from the buyer who wanted a better chance of getting it quicker.
