never pay for expedited shipping this time of year.

i ordered a part for my stove LAST NIGHT. even tho i wanted it fast, i picked regular ups for $8, instead of 2 day for $28.
the part is already here. ups is just in rock and roll mode, and everything flies.
save your money.

They told me over the phone that if I didn't order expedited shipping I wouldn't receive my checks for three weeks. I didn't take the bait and still got them in four days. That's where they make most of their profit I think.
