Update on the Elizabeth gingers

justmeLisa Brewers, KY(Zone 6b) Oct 25, 2002

I know most of yall are wondering what is going on by now. I just wanted to touch basis with everyone. I picked up the gingers last week or the week before(?), they are all here. I had to wait on the shipping boxes to come in. Well, they finally came in. Upon my trip to the post office, to find out shipping rates, I found out that different area codes have different shipping costs. It can vary to a dollar or more! Geeez, can you believe that? SO...then I had to wait for the postmaster to order me a rate sheet. The rate sheet came in yesterday. Then I realzied I didn't have a zip code sheet..so off to the post office I went. Now I have to figure out which zip codes go into what zones and what the costs are. Please hang in there yall, I am working on it all. I didn't have a clue that this was going to happen and take me so long to do! I thought the post office had a flat rate for however much the pkg. weighed. I am learning as I go. Thanks! Lisa

I hope to have all the costs figured out by the end of the day and emailed to each of you.

37849-7606, that's me. It used to be easy, now it's more complicated with the last rate increase they added zones. I think there is a page on their website for rates.

Lisa,

if u are sending priority mail, use this rate calculator, this applies to all locality... http://postcalc.usps.gov/ , this is how i get priority rate for plants and customer request for ink refill orders. the price is accurate too ;)! provided ur have a good scale.
