Hi Dave,

 RH> Most of the packages we've sent out have been over 3 pounds and we've
 RH> wanted them to have a signature for deilvery.  UPS does not always get
 RH> a signature; here they do the drop and go a lot of the time.  I've
 RH> signed for more Fed Ex packages than UPS.  Plus, we don't pay extra for
 RH> insurance up to $100. in value with Fed Ex; the others do charge.

 DD> UPS charges U$1 extra for residential delivery. And there is a box you
 DD> can tick on the shipping form that requires an "in person" signature.
 DD> Fed-Ex Ground (the old RPS) has no such option ... but no upcharge for
 DD> residential delivery and "regular" Fed-Ex _ALWAYS_ wants a signature
 DD> but their prices are substantially higher than the other services.

Fed Ex Ground can be sent with a signature required, and at a decent
price.  That's what we're using a lot of these days.


 DD> And DHL has packed up their residential service and gone back to
 DD> Krautland.

 DD> DHX sounds like a local delivey serivce ... rather like by friend
 DD> Mike's "Sanp Your Fingers" courier service.

They specialised in deliveries to/from the west coast and other parts of
the Pacific.  I guess they were sort of centrally located for that.


 DD> DHL took a perfectly acceptable alternative to FED-UPS (Airborne) and
 DD> mis-managed it into ruin. I hope they are happy.

Don't know much about either one so I can't comment.

Looks like a nice warm weather meal.  We're having unseasonably warm
weather (mid to upper 70s) this week but it's supposed to go back to
the upper 50s by Sunday.  Still too warm to snow tho.
