I have noticed that costs for Fedex and UPS ground are significantly less expensive that priority mail. I end up buying stuff on ebay where the seller is using USPS priorty mail and its costing almost $12 for tiny and lightweight items.. Comparable costs for the same item throug Fedex ground are only about $6-$8 Why do sellers insist on using the more expensive shipping option (assuming that they are not building a "handling" cost into it).. Spread the word... stop using the post office
