NFC: FL Collecting

If we got to do 2 or 3 trips next month.... I am all for it....

I have been trying to send out fish and they are taking forever to get where
they are supposed to go. So I too am suffering from the same deal as many of
you are... I guess some other carrier is going to have to take the brunt of
my shipments as well...

As a consensus of what was written before... which is the best 2-3 day
delivery service...
