Surprisingly good shipping option

When FedEx wouldn't take my package for C.O.D. shipping, I went to the Post Office. They are shipping my Linn Wakonda from Phoenix to Houston in two days, and collecting payment all for $28.80! FedEx was going to charge me $52.68 if I had a shipping account! For next day by noon service the post office would still have beat the FedEx two day price by almost $10. When you bring your box to the counter, you needen't fill out any forms before hand, the COD forms are kept behind the clerk's counter. When you ship COD the insurance is automatically inluded.
The Post Office! Who knew?

I have used the Post Office on several occasions and is my first choice when possible. I have never had a bad experience.

I agree with Wvick. After dismal experiences with UPS and Fedex, the good old USPS has been a very pleasant surprise. Given a choice, I won't use any one else. Just don't show up on December 16 or April 15 (2 busiest days of the year).

It is often, by far, the cheapest option for overseas deliveries, too.

Another option for larger speakers and often overnight with cheaper prices and good results is Greyhound. Used them and have experienced no problems.

A word of caution; the letter carrier will take a personal check as payment for a COD.---They do not insist on a Postal Money Order.
