USPS is the U.S. postal system right? I prefer that...Fed Ex doesn't come up here, it actually changes over to Purolater at one point and we only have a purolater desk where we can pick up packages only between certain hours, no delivery, so basically it's a pain in the patootie.
I honestly shop in Canada as most times when I order something, any savings in the cost of the fabric is eaten up by postage and customs fees...it's just not worthwhile at times. I've ordered from Fat Quarter Shop and Bee Sew Happy Quilting and try to limit my orders so they are under the max allowed before customs/duty gets involved...so I only get things that are really, really on sale.
