The reply was that I was given the opportunity to select my shipping method and that I chose UPS. Now why would I do that? The concern with my displeasure was underwhelming to say the least. Yes, you do have to be an informed shopper and read everything; then if you're lucky you won't ge gouged. There are so many terrific online retailers and then you run into one like toadusew@creativeconcepts and it can sour the whole experience of using the 'net.
I did notice that most of the time USPS is faster then UPS and a lot of the time UPS and FEDX give the packages to USPS to deliver anyway.
