Yooo said:There is so many different ways that a package can arrive now days. Economy shipping is, well, economy shipping. I wonder why the USPS posted such a loss. It must be because they are undercharging and not recuperating the cost of shipping. Which is great for vendors shipping out products as cheap as possible.
You can always ask the specific vendor their shipping policy. The actual vendor, not just the Q&A on the product's page. But even then, it could vary.

Fed Ex Smart Post and UPS Surepost on your box will result in a 1-2 day additional transit time to you as Fed Ex & UPS deliver to your local PO and then USPS sends it to distribution hub and back to the office sorted and counted for USPS stats. gotta love complex contracts UGH!dogboy said:I got an Amazon delivery on a Sunday delivered by a U. S. Postal truck. They'be made a deal with the postal service because the U. S. Postal posted a billion dollar loss for 2017. I guess this is a way for them to make up the lost revenue.

With more airlines looking for a new widebody replacement I am shocked Boeing does not dust off the plans for the DC-10/ MD-11 frame and just carbon copy it and give the engines more oomph basically slap three 777 esque engines in the sucker and dang that plane cannot be beat! With recent issues I surely hope airlines and manufacturers trash the twin engine love fest and go back to a 3-4 engine trans oceanic transporting planes. Just for kicks I have thought of packing myself in a box with a case of diapers and food and break out of the box once loaded onto the plane oh I bet that would not work my luck they would send me on a crop duster argh!aleakyboomboom said:Indeed, I only have flown in the MD-11, but damn a trijet just looks so right!

let alone a ride to club fed leavenworth.
aleakyboomboom said:Well the thing is: if MD had strapped 2 bigger blowers onto the wings of the 11 and done away with the tail engine, it would have essentially been the 777, ah well.
Lets hope Michael Oleary of Ryanair, does not google this thread, damn if passengers wore diapers he could get another 6 seats into his planes or 9 oh and selling diapers. heh [/QUOTE
Nothing wrong with the tail engine. Just like the L-1011 and the Iconic 727. Yeah better not give Delta or United or American any ideas too. LOL thing is you would still need lavs for diaper changes you know with the UK & EU disability laws. The ISA ADA would require it.
