UPS! I am so sad we aren't going through them anymore!
I went in today to send a Host Packet out.
The girl was super nice, and I mentioned something about PC.
She never heard of it, so I told her some stuff,
Asked her if she would be interested in more info and she filled out a drawing slip.
Hopefully I will get a show!

Thanks for the tip (I think it was Linda :confused: )
 
You send your hostess packets via UPS?
How much does that cost?
 
I use the Priority Mail Flat Rate envelope for $4.05 (I think). I'm also curious how much UPS charges for that size envelope...

I sent it Priority mail from Cali to MI.
It costed $10 & some change w/ the tracking through USPS. I had 6 catty's, alot of order forms, citrus peeler, SB recipe book, and lots of info. It was a FAT package!
I go to the UPS store though, because my USPS office SUCKS!!!!
 
You can still go in there and do mailings and promote yourself! Just think with the FedEx situation we now will have new drivers to deal with and promote ourselves with them too! You can go to Kinko's and do the same and their other mailshops. It's not a dead end!

In case no one knows when you track the packages from FedEx's website you can also send an e-mail to your customer about the delivery! I did that yesterday on an online order that shipped out yesterday! Very cool!
