[Milsurplus] UPS= "Upping Prices, Suckers!"

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

UPS has never smashed/destroyed stuff I bought.
FedEx has ruined/destroyed a Viking Ranger, a
National NCX-3, and a National HRO-60R.

There's multiple reasons I switched to FedEx Ground years ago. This is only 
one of them.

Keep the peace(es).
