Karen,

I wish I would pay only $60 for 100lbs.  Right now I pay $70 for 35 pounds. 
The airlines want at least 24 shipments (per airline so I can only use 1 
airline) per year to be a "Known shipper"  If I am not a known shipper they 
will not accept packages.  I think they also only do airport to airport. 
That is a problem for people living an hour away from an airport. Do you 
ship using airlines?


Update.  I called three people at the USPS offices in Syracuse NY. There are 
several more pieces of information gathered.  One person said that the 
airlines are no longer accepting any mail from the USPS so the USPS has to 
ground transport everything (express mail still goes through FedEx but FedEx 
never took live fish as mail from the USPS)

I then talked to the person who sent them the orders (memo) and they said 
that the airlines are no longer accepting live animals or fish but I could 
use them directly.
The person who sent them the memo said the same thing and suggested a grass 
roots effort to get the airlines to accept mail again.
