all good,when I send,I use UPS,if you bring it TO the terminal you save $10.00 compared to having them fetch it from your home.The past few years,commercial places,stores etc.cut-deals with one shipper or another,in which case,I choose "best way". Zone 2 in UPS is actually 1 day,they're obliged to have it there in 2 but 1 is the norm,same goes for 3 and 4..so on.Federal ships similarly;2-day,over-night EARLY and over-night LATE,after 11:00 am.DHL runs hot and cold,though OK too.All the others are very reliable.

I sent my bike through USPS. From TX to VA. $93 total, fair or did I pay too much? :(
