 US Postal Service..is it fair? - 2005/12/31 11:03 For those of you shipping worms through the mail, here's a heads up. Effective 11-24-05 anything 'live' being sent through the USPS is to be assessed a nearly 1.00 per pound surcharge on any such shipments...this includes the weight of the box, bedding, shipping bag, etc. If you include a pound of bedding for each pound of worms in your shipment you'll be paying over 2.00 per pound more money. In February of '05'they would no longer accept insurance on worms....if they don't guarantee em anyway, what's the purpose? If you'd like to protest, write your congressman, postmaster general, etc. Fair?, I don't think so.....Seeya, Bob www.trinity-ranch.com

 Re:US Postal Service..is it fair? - 2006/01/02 21:57 I ship worms all over USA and I ship Fed Ex which usually takes 2-4 days depending on distance. The shipping cost has gone up but so far the service is good.
When shipping priority with the post office is not guaranteed as I keep finding out sending my 2 kids in the milatary items. They are both stationed here in the states for now. My daughter got her banana bread & cheesescake brownies in 2 weeks in IL. Of course it had to be thrown out. This was my daughter's first time away from home for Christmas.
Have a GREAT New Year.

Do you still ship US postal or are you using alternative shippers like Fed-Ex, DHL, etc. . .?
