[Elecraft] Wow, Elecraft charges a lot for shipping!

[Don Wilhelm]

I have been shipping parcels with Elecraft gear in them for 11 years.  
Sometimes as many as 6 or 7 a week recently.  In all that time, I have 
only know of 3 which had gone astray, but were eventually delivered.  I 
normally use USPS Priority Mail and it is fast, reliable and 
economical.  Two or 3 day delivery to any of the 50 states.  The price 
is a little more than UPS Ground, and less than UPS 3 day.
UPS and FedEx are good too, and if you can get commercial rates, they 
are discounted, but I depend on USPS much more than UPS.
