UPS does recognize the holiday but does not observe it like the US Postal Service. The Postal Service will observe it and not deliver mail on that day. UPS will probably still deliver packages as usual.

Social security, along with every Federal government agency uses what is called "penalty mail" (penalty because there is a penalty for personal use). This is not pre-paid, so there is no postmark, but the agency does end up paying USPS for it. As for why your mail goes elsewhere first, it would be impossible to answer without knowing what city you are in, but I imagine it is because the post office at your small town does not have a sorting facility, so they send all of the mail they receive to the nearest sorting facility before it comes back.

UPS means Uninterrupted Power Supply. Based on the working principle, It is being classified into 2 types namely On-Line UPS and Off-Line UPS.\n\nOn-Line UPS\n\n                In this type of UPS, The Commercial AC supply is fed to an invertor and converted in DC supply and the battery gets charged. Output is taken from the battery, fed to an invertor and again converterd into AC supply. Here always the output is derived from the battery even if the commercial supply is available.\n\nOff-Line UPS\n \n                 In this type of UPS, the commercial supply is directly connected to the output and also to the battery charger through invertor. There is a relay to switch over from directly supply to the battery.  When there is a power failure occurs, the relay automatically connects to the battery and now the battery get draining. Here there will be a delay in terms of micro seconds which will not make any significance. \n\nOnline UPS can be used for critical places where the system is sensitive for micro seconds power failure. The Online UPS is costlier than Off-line UPS.

It all depends on the size & weight of the package.  USPS has limitations.  I usually give an option of UPS or Prority Mail and let the customer decide.  Priority mail is cheaper with lighter things and UPS cheaper for heavier things.  We're actually moving over to FedEx - it's cheaper.  Priority mail does have advantages sometimes because of the free boxes.  Advice is that you should charge the customer for shipping and add a small handling fee if you can't make enough profit on the item itself.  The problem isn't your shipping costs, it's the item you're selling.  Investigate other items!

You could use PHP (or similar) script to pull the info from the UPS site. Then write a csv file with the info you are interested in (after parsing the file).

Well, in order for me to find that out I would need the weight, dimensions of the box as well as the exact zip codes to/from.\n\nGo to USPS.com, UPS.com, FedEx.com to find out.\n\nThat should help.

Actually, UPS is starting to use new ones, called Tablet PCs. Gateway, Toshiba,and HP, but not Dell and a few other companies make them. I like the Toshiba kind. They also run off of a different Operating System-Windows Tablet PC edition. Here is Hp's one:http://www.hp.no/hpinfo/presse/bilder/hp_tablet_pc_tc1100.jpg

No UPS will not ship to any APO/FPO address. The only way to get it over here is to use USPS. You might want to check the AAFES website (military exchange website) to see if they have what your wanting there. They don't charge extra to ship to an APO/FPO address. You can always ask the company if they will ship it out USPS. Some companies will go out of their way to help us out. Other then that  check with amazon.com most of the companies that they sponsor will ship here! Good luck!

If you're shipping to a military address, (usually and FPO, or APO address), it costs the same as shipping in the United States.  So, depending on how long you want it to take to get here depends on how you want to send it.  I usually send them priority out of here and it can take a few days or a few weeks to get home.  Same goes for packages coming here.

APO postage is the same as US Postage.  If you are mailing directly to Iraq, it would be different.  My son was in Iraq and Japan and both places had APO addresses and we just used the normal postage.

The package is picked up from either:  Your Home or Business.  Or you drop it off at a Drop Box or FedEx Shipping Center.     From there it is taken to a local FedEx Station and sorted into the proper destination container.    From the local FedEx Station it is taken to the nearest FedEx Ramp or Airport and again sorted into it's proper destination container.   It is flown to one of three main sort centers:  Memphis, Newark, or Indianapolis, and again sorted to another destination container.   From there it is flown to it's final area sort center.   At that sort center the package would be sent to another local station and sorted to the proper truck for delivery.
