| 2009/3/23-30 [Consumer/Camera] UID:52747 Activity:nil | 3/23 FedEx MD-11 plane bounced, flipped, crashed and exploded in Japan.
First fatal crash in Narita Airport since it opened in 1978.

In the third video shot, the camera was actually following the plane
as it bounced. Probably it was a person holding the camera, not a
security camera.

| 2008/10/23-28 [Consumer/Shipping] UID:51662 Activity:nil | 10/23 I want to print out some text onto index cards (form a MS Word
document). It's taking me a long time using my home HP Laserjet
and FedEx Kinkos would charge me $1.49 per card! Does anyone
have any other ideas, or places that would charge less? Thanks!

\_ On Sunday, when the Post Office is closed.
\_ Score! An extra day. Here's a question. Why couldn't they have
made it 40 cents and made everyone's lives a little easier?
What's the last time the post office first class stamp was an
easy (divisible by 5) to deal with quantity?

when I home is now on the truck for delivery today. Is there any way
I can tell them "come back tomorrow"?
\_ Is it something that you'll have to sign for? or will they drop?

| 2005/7/1-4 [Consumer/Shipping] UID:38390 Activity:kinda low | 6/30 What kind of shipper do you use? I've been using USPS for packages
but lately noticed that vendors usually use UPS which is cheaper.
However, I also noticed that when I (non-vendor) use UPS, I get
charged 20-50% more than vendor rates, so the savings isn't all
that great. What do you use and why?
\_ I generally use USPS b/c it is the cheapest for small pkgs.

| 2005/6/28-30 [Consumer/Shipping] UID:38342 Activity:nil | 6/29 I bought this item using Fedex Ground and the shipping cost was only
$12.30. However, when I returned the [defective] item using the
exact same box and service, Fedex charged me $20. What accounts
for the discrepancy in shipping costs? Does Fedex have special
rates for different vendors?
\_ FedEx Ground sucks in all kinds of ways, apparently. --lye

| 2005/6/29-30 [Consumer/Shipping] UID:38366 Activity:moderate | 6/29 Brief update on the missing G5 - it turned up on my doorstep without a
word of explanation this afternoon. No note from FedEx, no signature
asked for, no evidence that the package was actually delivered in their
tracking system. The box seemed a bit battered and the packing list
was missing, but otherwise everything seems totally ok. Bizarre.
