A shipping company such as UPS may be cheaper, but don't think for a minute that it's not getting there the exact same way you are.

Sorry, I'm not buying that one. So I'm supposed to believe that UPS, or Fedex, has no planes, of its own, at all? I guess myself, and others, are hallucinating when, at the airport, we see aircraft in UPS and Fedex liveries? Or, if you're willing to concede these two DO have their own planes, most of the packages they receive are NOT carried on their own planes? Yes, perhaps during holiday times, scheduled passenger airlines may carry SOME UPS and Fedex cargo.

If UPS and Fedex relied on the airlines as heavily as you would have us believe the loss or delay rate would be a lot higher than it is for these companies.
