I just sent my Holley 450 cfm 4 bbl back to Holley for one of their 'for all intents and purposes' like new rebuilds.
The shipment was from Vancouver WA to Bowling Green KY and the package weighed 13 lbs.
United States Postal service wanted 24$ for snail mail Parcel Post, their cheapest method. No tracking, no insurance and 7 business days to arrive. I recall that Priority Mail was 27$.
UPS Ground wanted 17$, five days transit time and of course tracking and 100$ insurance.
I ended up shipping it Fed Ex Ground. It cost 11$, arrived in 4 business days, it of course was trackable and had the basic insurance.
Go Figure!
...and I might add, 'and we want the Federal Government to control our healthcare?'
