: I can tell you that discounts from Shippers are few and far between! We send out 300 pkgs a day and they don't feel we are big enough to offer a discount to.

When I bought dry ice it didn't cost much at all. I got it at the icecream store. Don't know where else to get that.

I noticed that Godiva could ship for a fraction of what I would have paid for just the actual shipping charge, leaving aside the cost of shipping materials and labor. maybe they are shipping from regional centers, but still....then customers wonder why our shipping charges are "high." (Yours aren't high, I hasten to add. <G>) For several years I charged people just the actual UPS charge, leaving nothing for packing materials and labor and driving the packages to the drop off. (UPS charges $2 PER BOX to pick up.) I'm not doing that any more.
