I'm thinking that with all the extra zip codes a typical package goes to these days before it gets to the correct one... they gotta charge more. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

The Postal employees that made the deal probably need spanked. I get packages with a .22 cal. wire brush tip for scrubbing a barrel, delivered in a box that could hold a football.

The only exception being flat rate for heavy things. But the caveat...may never get there. My experience. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
