Most interesting, Kitty...wonder if it is their scales, but I also
see additional charges with UPS for 'stuff'...fuel surcharges and
whatnot...with USPS, could be a scale difference.   Wonder if there's
anybody checking their scales?  Of course, if they are gonna err, it
will be in making packages a tad heavier than a tad lighter:-)
