    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

What is NEXT DAY AIR SAVER?

I'm not certain, but if it's anything like the "saver" packages I recieve in at work, it means, "Yeah, well, we'll try to get it there sometime the next day....but if not that day, it'll probably get there the next day after that".

See.....they don't specify which day it's next to. LOL.

Nice to know I paid $40 for UPS overnight and they sent it saver. :hot:
 
WOW!

I guess UPS rates have gone up a lot since the new fuel surcharge.

I just did a quote and got a rate of $40.52 for saver and almost $80 for regular overnight.
 
Since we normally had animals shipped to us marked "HOLD FOR CUSTOMER" at the nearest hub, we always used Next Day Air Saver. The animals were unloaded and ready to be picked up by the time the office opened at 8:00 a.m.
 
The saver really didn't make much of a difference. The animal got here at 1pm so it wasn't really at the end of the day like the site says.

Of course it would have been nice if he was really a she like I bought and I wasn't too thrilled with the packing.
