Default Not really an issue of size or weight anymore

Hi

Like a lot of things it no longer is a matter of actual what does it cost for a service it is a matter of what is the threshold for is it worth my time to be bothered.

Years ago you wanted to ship a truck tires across country you took them to the bus station and called party you were shipping it to when it arrived at the other end.

Few years ago you wanted to ship heavy (under 100Lbs) parts around the US you sent them United Parcel Service little fuss fair cost. Last time I had something heavy shipped to me, a truck transmission, UPS managed loose the wooden crate (40 Lbs. of wood) transmission arrive re-wrapped in plastic. No explanation or even comment about what happened. Basically UPS said what crate.

Of course 3D Carbon Fiber printers are going to eventually end shipping parts what you will be selling and buying is the file to direct the printer.

No solutions just adding my rants

Cheers Phil
