[ICOM] PRO II Mini Manual

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

2 pound package to LA costs the same as a 2 pound package to Guam

Priority mail     $5.75
Parcel Post     $4.49

In the old days Ben Franklin marked the Post Road in various zones and 
people would pay for how far the letter had to be carried.

Wouldn't that be a bureaucratic nightmare?

imagine how expensive it would be to ship an Icom radio?

I think you will also find that any package, same weight, shipped
from the east coast, the same method, standard rate or Priority,
to Alaska, Hawaii, Saipan/Guam or Los Angeles, will be the same
postal charge.  LA, Fairbanks and Hawaii were also the same rates
for Express mail, which may not be available to Saipan and Guam.
