Also, I have signed up for the 'no signature' service, so I dont have to sign for anything other than foreign registered. Alas, it still doesn't work. They make me sign for stuff that has no signature requirement! But, that is just my local office.

Sure, adds maybe hours or a day to the shipment, but I had one package delivered to a CT member in Florida. I mailed in on Friday, he picked it up on Monday! What's that? 3,000 miles or so. Not bad.
