Regional 'C' priority boxes...

..... :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[....Willie was right...  I've been shipping them with the cost of the most expensive large flat rate box....and I was wrong  :-[....but I've gone through over (3) cases of 'C' boxes doing it 'my' way....  Seems I should use the business priority rate for them. It's only a couple bucks more, so no big deal.....Joe, the friendliest, nicest, most helpful PO clerk I've met caught it....he was a little embarrassed too.....we laughed and added the extra bucks to bring us in line with the rest of the USPS.. ;D

Joe has a tank too..a 20 gal...he's raising Jap Blue guppies, with L144 blue eyed bn's as a cleanup crew, all which I brought over for him to tinker with...he's hooked now  ;D....

You can still ship anywhere in the country using that box and the cost is reasonable.  I found out the hard way not to ship to the west coast using one.  40. plus bucks and I quoted the guy $25.  Ouch!
Always move forward. Never look back.

It's a great deal for me if I stay within a certain distance. Liz is right about the west coast. So far I haven't shipped that far. BTW I learned about the Regional Cs from Liz. Thanks Liz.

 It only takes that one person to make a dumb decision. That would be a disaster. ???
