What's wrong with their feathers?

Quote:
If the recipient lives close to a major airport, shipping is usually much faster the farther away they are! I have never had a shipment arrive as fast as the one I sent to Alaska- 10 hours! I'm only 45 minutes away from Mid-Continent International, so stuff goes out and gets here really fast. If it's going to or coming from a state adjacent, though, it's usually 3 days. I had one shipment go out to Tazcat70 in Wichita, 3 hours away...and it got there 3 days later. That's not good.

It's often about the amount of time spent on a truck, so the closer the two parties are to airports, so long as they aren't in states next to each other, the faster the trip.

When you get a minute, can you pm your prices. Maybe I can keep a couple nearby, till you're set where you want to be. House hunting as well, but looking for more room for the birds. Let me know, so I can see if I can swing anything.
