If you ever order factory parts from them that are not in stock it will
take eons to receive your parts. You have been warned.

On the + side, anything in stock gets to LA in about four nanoseconds.

Pelican Parts' policy is regardless of delivery type but they are in
negotiation with Fedex, which has a hazmat license (?), to be able to ship
with them via air or ground.

This is the second time I’ve heard this dreck from them.

I find this to be questionably bogus in that I see no reason why they can’t go 
surface, like any other hazmat item can, in the USPS.  I can’t imagine that CA 
laws override Federal ones for something like this.

I shipped a seat belt with a squib in it the other day via USPS parcel post. 
When the counter guy asked me why I didn’t want to use Priority Mail, I told 
him the package had explosives in it (describing exactly what it was) and he 
agreed that it had to go surface.
