If you remember my gripe from the other day, you’ll know that I’m mighty frustrated with shipping costs up here. It’s not the whole problem of paying for shipping – that’s fair anywhere. The problem is that there’s no choice: I can only order “second day air”. And that’s padded with each company’s shipping charges.

Well, I don’t want second day air.  Or rather, when I do want it, I’m OK with paying it.  But if I need something in a few weeks – say 3 or 4, then I’m just as happy paying less for a slower service.  Ground is OK, really!

But no, few folks offer that.

Well, I’d like to update that: Norman Camera and Video offer ground UPS to Alaska.  It’s too early to state that this is a winner, but reviews are looking good. Assuming everything comes through, I think I have a new favorite place to order from.
