Hey gsetter! The post office delivers to most houses. Time? Waiting and extra day for and item is nothing if you start adding up the dollars. Like most people I have time, money I don't. The post is usually faster and cheaper than UPS or FED EX and if you buy enough, which most of us do, in the long run you save big time. Air is usually cheaper for long distance. Secondly, The price of overhead and boxes and wages is calculated into the price you are paying for the item. Handling is a money grabber for most businesses. I have worked , retail wholesale and distributor. Brothaslide.... use your computer and take a few minutes in the evenings, when you would just be watching tv anyway, and shop around on the internet. Find a place that ships to your needs. Standard Hobby or Hobby Circle are very reanonable and easy to deal with. If the hobby outlet that you use doesn't cater to you, find someone else. It's your money and your time. If more people started changing their habits and letting the outlets know what they are or are not doing, things would change. Have a nice day!
