UPS Shipping cost and delivery times; Why no USPS option?
I like Blurb – I think the product is great. But for me the process breaksdown when it comes to shipping – costs and travel times. The UPS options are expensive (per book) and the ground service is unbelievably slow. My last book took two days to get from one UPS distribution site in the midwest to Indianapolis (it spent 18 hours in a distribution warehouse outside of Chicago alone). When you add the cost of the UPS shipping to the basic cover price, its makes the Blurb product too expensive to get people at reasonable price point where they are more likely to buy from our Museum Shop. Why is there no option to ship via USPS Priority Mail? You get 2-3 delivery and they deliver on <acronym title="!">SATURDAY</acronym> something UPS doesn’t normally due (unless you pay another extra fee) .
