Scott Davis wrote of the possibility of sending boxes Parcel Post rather
than Priority Mail. there is a catch there...anything over 14 ounces is
upgraded to Priority and you don't have a choice in the matter. I'd say for
frames and bars one might well look to Fed Ex...I have no experience with
DHL.
There seems to be no way around it...when gas goes to $3-4 per gallon, folks
want more to deliver your stuff. I often grumble about it, but most ways to
ship are really a bargain. I can ship a frame the 139 miles from my house
to Doug Fattic's shop for $11-13...to drive it to deliver the frame is a
whole lot more expensive, obviously.
