[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you who say we don't need it anymore must not do any shipping.

Some USPS facts:
-The USPS is the only service that does NOT have a rural fee or residential delivery fee. 
-They are the only service that does not have a fee for fuel or emissions offset. 
-They are the only service that does not charge more during peak shipping times, like Christmas. 
-USPS' API is also the most accurate when integrated into your online shopping cart. Our online shopping cart displays the shipping prices of USPS, UPS, and FedEx for our customers to pick. USPS is always accurate within pennies of what the actual shipping price ends up being. UPS' is the worst.

Just today a customer paid $20 for UPS Ground shipping but I had to swap their order to USPS because the actual UPS price once I entered the information jumped up to $30.23. The UPS API must only use zip codes to determine price and not actual addresses, because when entering the address on ups.com, it added additional fees for residential delivery and rural delivery. It's why we have a note on our site that shipping method may be changed at our discretion to accommodate price fluctuations. That same package shipped via USPS for $10.05 and we got to refund the customer $9.

Then let the Chamber of Commerce and NFIB save it.  This is the policy outcome they supported and funded.[/quote]
