Buy your stuff now as UPS has announced the following:

Since you are a UPS customer, we want to give you advance notice of new UPS rates that will take effect January 2, 2006.
UPS published On-Demand Rates* will change as follows: Commercial Ground will increase 3.9%, and UPS Air and International Services will increase 5.5%.



This can only increase your freight costs....so buy and ship prior to end of year or figure on some additonal freight costs......

ups sucks

USPS ALL THE WAY!!!!!

ups and fedex are all way too over priced unless you get company discount



example: i did a trade on line, he sent ups for 16.28 (im pretty sure); i sent it the package for 8.57

btw i traded paintball markers with another kid in Cali (im in Socal while he is in Norcal)

Correct Kaotic...but lets see the comparison on something that is of size like rims and tires or an A-spec kit for example? UPS will be far cheaper in most cases when you get a shipment over about 5 - 7# that willnot fit into a priority mail box. I am all for USPS,ect, Priority mail....it is just limited on what you can send for cheap....unless you go to Parcel Post...which is totally untrackable.

These are the people I was talking to.....because adding shipping costs to something you have been saving up "X" dollars for can suck!

I like DHL and Fedex anyway (they don't hire delivery guys with sexy legs that my wife ogles at... Give me a fat, dirty DHL guy any day!)..

Good heads-up about the UPS rate increase though

That or UPS guys that handle your freight like the hotel bellboys on Saturday Night Live!

Thanks for the info. This might be a good thread for Ramblings, where it will get a lot more exposure.
