<DIV>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! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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!
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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!</DIV>

<DIV>I agree with most everything you said. I send a lot of stuff too.
</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>My two cents, however: </DIV>
<DIV>1. USPS is convenient and reliable for me, UPS and FedEx (especially
FedEx) is not</DIV>
<DIV>2. We're talking Groo here. I can't think of any reason short of
gifting to need this quickly.</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>

<DIV><BR><BR>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. </DIV>
<DIV>No offense intended, just my 2 cents,</DIV>
