UPS, FedEx, other?

Alan Bukley wanted me to ask this of all who are receiving packages. Thanks for your input.

My packages came on an 18 wheeler this year. Along with about three thousand other packages. Local bee farm was the pick up point for about a hundred beekeepers.

United States Postal System, Priority Mail.  The post office calls when they arrive and I go pick them up.  (This year they even offered to deliver to the house!)

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

USPS Priority Mail

I am WAY outside of 'Zone 4' for most shippers - so USPS is always risky, but I have never had any problems.  The best set up for a package shipped to me was done by Carlton Simpson at Simpson's Honeybee Supply in Ohio.

I ordered a 2lb package from California.  The package went first to Ohio (to Simpson's) and then to me in North Dakota.  That is a lot of travel time.  Upon receiving the package, Carlton replaced the syrup can with a 'walk-in' can of fondant and then shipped it out.  The bees came in great shape, even after all of that traveling.

My supplier drives to Georgia and trailers back about 500 packages.  I pick them up at his apiary.  2700 mile round trip.
