[Groop] shipping from San diego Comic con

[Yodazone at aol.com]

I'm leaning towards Priority shipping since it's such a big item.  The  
size of the Hardcover is about 2 feet and the "Artists Edition" usually weigh 
at  least 15 pounds.  If it's shipped with Media Mail,  Post Office  handlers 
will probably keep Groo at the bottom of all their packages and would  be 
prone to damage.    Unless Groo get's them  first!   
 
Btw,  anyone wondered how Gary is going to carry all of the  hardcover 
books at the convention?!    30 books times  15 pounds is like....(let me try 
some math  here)....*tap*tap*click*......750 pounds!       
 
That's a heavy workout!   Gary's gonna get giant "Popeye"  forearms when 
this is done!   I hope IDW provides a hand cart/truck at  least!

I agree with most everything you said.  I send a lot of stuff too.  


My two cents, however: 
1. USPS is convenient and reliable for me, UPS and FedEx (especially  
FedEx) is not
2. We're talking Groo here.  I can't think of any reason short of  gifting 
to need this quickly.
3. Insurance terms between the three are mostly similar.  The  differences 
between proof of valuation (the only way to prove claim amounts)  do not 
vary.

What most people do not know about media mail is that it does  not have to 
move from the post office the same day it is received! this  means it can 
sit for awhile before it is on its way. Then it can take up to  2 weeks to get 
delivered! Yes it is cheap, but you get what you pay for.  Also insurance # 
does not always help with tracking. You might get back your  money (seldom 
shipping cost back) but you miss out on a limited book.I know  this from 
experience.  Not only was my dad a Mail person, but my family  owned a store 
like the UPS store. Sometimes UPS or FedEx Ground is  cheaper than the Post 
Office and you get a tracking # and $100 insurance for  free. 
No offense intended, just my 2 cents,
