[TowerTalk] Isoloop Packing

[Jim Lux]

You're probably getting hammered by "dimensional weight".. big, undense
stuff gets socked heavily.
Why not ship it by truck freight? Old Dominion (http://www.odtl.com/ I
think) for instance does this kind of thing fairly inexpensively.
Parcel post through USPS is another alternative.
