This may have been the case in the past, but this spring I ordered a queen
from Texas and asked that she be shipped UPS next day to insure the shortest
possible travel time.  UPS would not carry her.  USPS Express brought her
in.
Perhaps and hopefully they have changed their policy on this since I
ordered.  As a group, we may want to contact UPS to see if, as a company,
they may be willing to pick up this business.  With the number of packages
and queens shipped every spring, I can't help but think it would be a
lucrative addition to their business.
