UPS Ground delivery for 2000 miles is more like a week to ten days,
can be quicker but since the price of gas has risen so much UPS is
consolidating their shipments and you may find the luggage being held over
at intermediate points. At $25 a 40 lb suitcase deing delivered with you in
4 hours is a bargain in comparison.
