Fedex Ground is the way to go ...cheap and fast. Beats USPS and UPS.
Yeah, that's what I thought too, until today.
I normally ship FedEx ground, depending on where it's going.
I took a rifle in today, and was informed that it HAD to go PRIORITY OVERNIGHT!
I questioned them, saying I had done it in the past. She showed it to me, in writing. (Amongst other things, i.e. no individual to individual, no ammo, etc).
I had committed to shipping the rifle today, couldn't get to the post office in time, so had no choice but to suck it up and send it. The price difference was more than FIVE TIMES what it would have been vs ground.
It left such a sour taste that I doubt I'll sell any more rifles other than face-to-face. To get a buyer to pay the true cost (even USPS insured was over $30, plus a box, gas, etc), or to eat part of it on every deal, pretty much takes the fun out of it.
Oh, I was PI$$ED at FedEx today....
