susandennisI just got a note from my brother "the blond is in the house"...
When I decided to send the computer back to him, I did some quick and sloppy research on how much the various shipping options would be. Since it was Saturday morning, I knew I could get it to the post office in the International District fairly easily and a guess at how much it weighed showed that the USPS price was cheaper than or equal to my next best option - UPS. But, UPS always seems so expensive to me and slow. So, off to the post office.
I forget what the option I picked was but the cute little guy said it would get there Wednesday or maybe Tuesday. It cost me about $40. I asked him if he could put it in the fast lane and he giggled.
I guess he did cause it's now all over the work table in my brother's shop. He's thinking mother board and reports that he's working Intel warranty and his vendor in parrallel to see who comes through first.
I still can't believe that fabulous postal service got it there in what was essentially a day and a half. Pretty impressive.
