magsglass Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Seems to me that just a few years ago UPS was the cheapest shipper, and FedEx was outrageous. Now it's reversed. :rolleyes2With these costs rising so much, I'm thinking of hiring my own cabana boy/hot shipping guy to go pick up the stuff I order. No wait...if he's out picking up packages he won't be here to entertain me. Nevermind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a Scale from 1-10 , Please rate the following:How was his scent throw.How was his melt pool.. How did his wick hold up.. Did he drown out, or last for hours.. Hey Islandgirl, thanks for the cabana boy to test! Here are my results:Scent throw: 9 - Very nice! Almost too nice because it drew attention from every woman in the vicinity (and some of the guys!). They kept sniffing around and asking to sample him, but I informed them he was only a test model and not ready for the general public! Melt Pool: 5 - Greater than expected. This could be a problem, but may be easily solved (see wick rating below)Wick: 7 - Overwicked! I think the next size down would be better. Now personally I like 'em a little larger, but there was so much spent wick left after each burn, I could barely keep up with trimming it. Plus, this size wick really made too large of a melt pool. Which brings us to...Drown out: 1 - Yup, you guessed it. Started out with a good burn, then just raged on uncontrollably. I was just beginning to enjoy the hot throw but then the melt pool got too deep and it was over for him. It's a shame because his container was very sturdy and attractive. Maybe he just needs a little reformulating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valleygrls98 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I don't get it gas isn't any higher than it was last year. I don't know if this is the case with UPS but I deliver pizza and we use to have a delivery charge that the drivers got all of now the delivery charge is .50 higher than our rewmbersmnet rate so the company is actually making $$ on the fact that gas has gone up and they play it off like it is because they have to pay us drivers more ...... I think I will start using Fed EX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
