[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by TEFFY John: What about the Blizzard of '96 that shut down the whole east coast. I was on a charter with three busses and 95 kids on the way to washington DC. They closed the roads at Tuskaloosa Alabama, the lead bus (me) was the second in line. We had to fall back to Meridian Miss (90 miles) to find rooms for all of the students. Bob [/quote] During that blizzard I worked for Mail Boxes Etc. I don't even remember how many requests we got to ship shovels and ice choppers. We didn't ever end up sending any because the cost was just too outrageous as they would have been considered oversized and shipped at a 30lb rate. There were even requests from a local hardware store about shipping snowblowers--those would have been freight, you can imagine that cost. I wish I could remember how much they were back then. Also if UPS could get to you door to deliver the item in the first place then I guess you don't need it huh.
