Aren't you paying attention, Rien? USPS will continue delivering
packages on Saturdays.

FedEx was the leader in prices, and the most green, with 329 hybrid

So, which is best? The bottom line is that it depends on what you

any. It
Any time I've compared Fedup Hex with UPS, they wer 12-15% higher

Victor is right. Best solution for each individual may differ. I live in
the city. UPS store is right next to my Post Office branch. I have no
problems with FedEx or UPS deliveries. I am suffering a fourth month of
late mail deliveries -- after dark most days. And I have had only the
one undeliverable mail item, the one CD sent to Russia. Overseas mail is
much, much cheaper than UPS or FedEx service.

NO, getting the package here, in a reasonable time, in good condition
is the concern.

BTW with all the laugh about elecric cars and such, they have all
forgotten that electricity, for the most part is a polluting
generation process! Just because the actual vehicle doesn't emit
pollutants, one needs to realize those were emmitted when the
electricity was -=generated=-. Further there's the bigger problem of
the lead and other high contaminents when the cars are repaired or
junked! None of the Greenies bother to address this MAJOR problem!

I'll agree with this comment. Electric vehicles are also very expensive
and have limited driving range.
