Unfortunatly, UPS seems to have a corner on the inexpensive-package
shipping  market. 

I decided to compare UPS with Federal Express for a package I sent
(via UPS) today. The pakage went from Rochester, NY to Culver City, CA and
weighed two pounds.

UPS
---
Standard Ground		$2.60
Two Day Air (Blue)	$4.00

(Add $4.00 for first pickup during the week. Additional pickups are n/c)

FedEx
-----
Two Day Standard Air	$10.50

(Add $3 for pickup service)

We regularly receive packages from UPS from our suppliers (on the order
of 5-20 packages a day). I can't think of the last time a package was
lost or late getting to us. We have stuff shipped to us standard ground,
two-day (blue-label) and one-day (red-label). We also ship a smaller
number of packages out via UPS and have not had problems with packages
being damaged, late or lost.

Now, can we get back to the Mac?

ObMac Question:

Anyone know of a batch un-binexer and un-stuffer?
