However, as I had to do everything that I had planned to do over 24 hours in one afternoon, the only option left at 5:30 or so was to send things UPS Ground. Which was about $10 a packet for the local-ish sites.<br /><br />Also there was the Portland packet, which had to go UPS Air for a lot more.<br /><br />Another factor that may be playing into it is the old saying "What is the primary difference between Americans and Europeans?...Europeans think 100 miles is a logn way, and Americans think 100 years is a long time."<br /><br />In other words--sure, if I was sending something just across Michigan, it might be comparable to British postal rates. But sending it out of state is not like sending it from one county to another, distance-wise.lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02417223386917662430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914415.post-1100131537186972732004-11-10T19:05:00.000-05:002004-11-10T19:05:00.000-05:00Wait, maybe that should be "some time" to parallel...Wait, maybe that should be "some time" to parallel "everyday" as adjective, but "every day" as adverb.
