Default Re: shipping costs????

I just selected a hat and a shirt in the FG store thing, and calculated the shipping. To go from California to NJ the rates seem pretty fair. I wouldn't need any of it tomorrow so I would go with UPS ground. maybe 2 day if I REALLY wanted it.

US Postal Service Express Mail $20.80
US Postal Service Priority Mail $6.80
UPS Ground $8.52
UPS 3 Day Select $11.74 3 Day Delivery.
UPS 2nd Day Air $14.99 2 Day Delivery.
UPS Next Day Air Saver $31.81 1 Day Delivery.
UPS Next Day Air $34.60 1 Day Delivery.
Delivered by 10:30 A.M..
UPS Next Day Air Early A.M. $67.66 1 Day Delivery.
Delivered by 8:30 A.M..

Yea. I mean add a dollar for a box and packing materials, and $7.89 for shipping is pretty darn normal.

As for the $50 rates and such thats all for overnight, and such... and thats what UPS charges.

AND don't forget the merch gets shipped from Ohio, so all you cali guys, thats a HIKE for the gear to travel!
