I had just pulled the last rotor when the FedEx driver came up the street.
He was laughing when he got to my house and said "Now I know why these
boxes are so darn heavy!"

I guess 36# boxes are at the high end of their normal package weight.


I bet the UPS man wondered what was in a box that was about 2 feet square
and 3 feet long that came the other day. It was a piece of electronic test
gear that weighs around 70 lb I ordered off ebay.

I think at one time either 70 or 80 lb was their limit, but may be double
that now.


The way I understand it the "regular" drivers will do up to 70# and
they will do up to 150# (they send a different truck with 2 guys).
Beyond that you are in the "freight" category. That is scary
expensive. (hundreds for a lift gate truck)
