    Has any one noticed changes in shipping rates

    Has any one noticed a drop in FEDEX or any other shipping costs, fuel cost is down almost 40% but for some reason shipping rates are still the same. I'll bet when fuel prices go back to where they were we will get another price hike for the same increase we already are paying for.

    Any one game for an e mail flood to FEDEX ?

    Has any one noticed

    I already mentioned in another post that it is part of their contingency plan. they price for the worst profit and charge for the best. its kind of like a yard buying low and selling high. its just business imho
