[Elecraft] Elecraft UPS deliveries

[WILLIS COOKE via Elecraft]

If I lived in Alaska I think I would rather have Good Wood Delivery than Good Elecraft Delivery.

Probably already moderated - but I read the digest version...delivery 
twice a day! :-)

You guys ought to try living in Alaska and trying to get good 
delivery.  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!
