Paying GET is no big burden.
Forcing expensive FedEX is a bigger burden. I have no problem paying GET if it also means I can choose cheap USPS shipping, but that's not how it works.

Forcing expensive FedEX is a bigger burden.
Do you mean through Amazon? Most big shippers have a negotiated rate with the carrier of their choice, or as with Amazon, almost all carriers. My rate with FedEx is about half of what USPS would charge me. Right now, I can ship a 3# box to Maui overnight for about $2.60 on FedEx. And they'll pick it up at my door. USPS Priority would be what, $14? And a 15 mile drive that requires a couple gallons of gas. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.
