For the prices they charge locally, the pallets should be solid gold.

Every time I use them, the shipping is very expensive compared to UPS.

I wonder if shipping varies a lot, because some people swear by FedEX
for cheap shipping, while others swear *at* FedEX for expensive
shipping.

Locally, UPS gives excellent service, and I've never had a problem using
them for delivery.

The USPS is bad locally for delivery, as I've missed a lot of mail, and
it has actually cost me money.  On the other hand, I've never had a
problem shipping something via USPS, even though they have some really
odd pricing at times.
