[Elecraft] KPA1500 Caution

[Edward R Cole]

In today's USPS, both UPS and FedEx also carry the "mail" so one 
cannot be sure who the "actual carrier" is.

I have no home delivery of US Mail so my USPS packages are held 
secure inside the PO.  Both UPS and FedEx delivery are drop n scoot 
(lucky if you are home and hear the knock).  And there your lovely 
$5K purchase sits out in the wx available for thieves.  I could opt 
for one of the box clusters which would result in driving 25-miles to 
the PO to pickup boxes too large.  RFD is out of a neighbor city.  My 
local PO is 4.5 miles. When I was still employed the PO was 0.25 mi 
from work which made it very convenient.  Its a small town PO and 
they know me by name.

Another reason to chose Priority Mail is that UPS/FedEx cost 2x to 3x 
as much for delivery to Alaska (and 2-day delivery is 3-day+ for 
all  three services). No UPS/FedEx on weekends.  PO is open on Saturday.
