VC offers all you can buy UPS shipping for $10

[Guest Admin]

We are excited to offer all of you another option for your U.S. Vinyl Collective orders, UPS ground shipping. We have been very careful about adding another shipping option and have decided to give UPS a try throughout the holidays. When it is all said and done, we are going to evaluate UPS' performance, but between you and me, it can't get any worse than USPS media mail. USPS' tracking barely ever gets updated and more times than not, it creates confusion with our customers. I have thought about putting together a class action lawsuit against the USPS as we pay for this service and it almost never works. That, my friends, is a project for another day.

Back to UPS. UPS automatically insures their packages. They have a set number of days that they deliver their packages. Most destinations on the west coast will receive their packages in 3 business days. Many midwest destinations like Chicago and Minneapolis are also 3 business days. New York and parts of Florida are a 5 business day delivery (or 1 week). Note that 3 business days are not always 3 days. If we ship something on a Friday, 3 business days would get the package to the customer on Wednesday. They don't count Saturdays and Sundays (sorry if this is redundant).

And yes, UPS is more expensive, but we have decided for simplicity's sake, we will offer all you can buy shipping through UPS for $10. Yes, this is more than the cost of Media Mail, but with it comes some added incentives. The nice thing is that this is just another option, this does not replace any of our existing shipping options.

If anything, I might recommend doing this on your bigger orders.

Well, it looks like I might just have to put in a giant order and try this out.
