I am traveling again

Apr 28, 2008 02:41

Some time this week, before the first of next month, I have to drive up to Seattle again. I have to return some of my BarBri books to their office there, to get a deposit back. The value of that deposit is substantially more than the cost of driving up there (which is itself cheaper than the cost of shipping the books back by mail). But it still ( Read more... )

Can I take you to lunch tomorrow, perhaps? (or call on you this evening, if there's an emergency?)

I'm actually going to be in Seattle.... starting Wednesday night. Damn.

I'll be around and gladly put you up any time. I am also going down to Portland, but not until Thursday night...

Thank you! Car-sharing logistics seem to dictate that I'll be coming up this afternoon, arriving around 7:00 or 8:00, which means I'll need to spend one night up there to conduct my business the following day. Can I call you tonight? I can take you to dinner or something? (My fortunes are rather improved since last we spoke.)

Dude! Postage more expensive than gas? How heavy are the books? Shipping 20 lbs. of books using the Media Mail rate costs $8.59. You can throw in insurance and delivery confirmation for that and still come in at under $15.

Unless BarBri requires FedEx or something ridiculous like that, in which case, never mind.

Actually, even FedEx isn't that expensive: for 35 lbs. of books, you can use ground delivery (takes three days) for $21.89.
