Greetings all, After I read the posts to the list, I went down to my local post office, and had a chat with the postmaster. He told me that they have reached an arrangement whereby Fed Ex will put one of their boxes on the post office property. In exchange, he told me, Fed Ex will carry SOME of the mail for the post office. He seemed to think that it would not be all of the mail though. I expressed concern to him about our dilemna, and he understood. He was not sure if Fed Ex may relax their regulations on carrying live animals. Maybe our best course of action would be to contact the USPS, and see exactly what they are planning on doing, and if our industy will be affected. Then, if Fed Ex is going to be the main carrier, we could appeal to them, and explain our situation, and ask that they reconsider their policy. I dont think we will be able to get the USPS to change it's plans though. It is my understanding from my postmaster, that the commercial airlines are forcing the post office to take advantage of this opportunity because of the problems the commercial airlines have with getting mail where it is supposed to be. We need to pull together though to try to get some arrangement though, or we will all suffer. Scott Moser
