    No and a comparative.
    In a ranking of importance for filmmakers it's something like studio money ,sycophants,bimbos ,drugs, Johnny Depp , horses and finally art.
    On the other hand for cowboys it's a hat (preferably cowboy), a horse , a sixshooter or maybe a Winchester and lastly the love of a good woman which depending on circumstance can be either a hooker with a heart of gold or a schoolmarm.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    I haven't, but maybe Idol did take it into account?

    At least USPS is cheap. Sometimes shipping from the US to Canada is cheaper than using Canada post to order internally.

    It's government funded and priced only to meet budget, not to turn a profit. That's why stamp prices (bulk of mail) are always changing.

    Edit: not to imply Canada doesn't do the same thing, just saying there's a reason it's cheap

    Lol, when I used to ship things for work, nine times out of ten there was never more than one day difference between standard and priority. The price wasn't worth it arriving 24 hours earlier.

    It hugely depends on what you're ordering though.

    Pretty sure they can't do much anymore. Not it's the round trip to the four corners of the Earth before finally winding up where I need it.

    Your item left the United States from FOREIGN CENTERJERSEY CITY NJ 099 at 10:40 am on June 04, 2011. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.
