I read the post from Kim about the cost of ADV testing. We also use United for testing. But my cost is a lot less because I ship from work, where it costs me about $4 to send the package next afternoon delivery. I work for a large company, and we get rock bottom courier rates due to our volume. Perhaps there is another ferret person near you who has the same availability of low cost shipping from their job that could help you out by shipping the package for you. It could save you a lot of cash in the long run. Anne [Posted in FML issue 3987]
