It’s best to ask the receiver what method they want. As mentioned before, packing is everything – regardless of carrier.
I like USPS (US postal) because it is more convenient for me to mail from my work site. I have never had a package get lost as long as I insure it, but their “tracking”, well, is non-existent and sucks. Never waste money on it. From what I have heard it takes longer and is harder to file a claim if something gets broken. Also, their “overnight” shipping for the 2 packages I have sent never got there overnight. I have found recently that they are much more expensive for sending Windstones than UPS.
I like UPS, but I prefer to go the UPS store, which might be more expensive, I don’t know. I love their tracking and as mentioned above they seem to be cheaper for Windstones. Example, I sent a double boxed lap dragon USPS with insurance it was $25.50, I sent one via UPS and it was around $15 with insurance. Also, be aware that sometimes, the clerks try to get you to buy extra packaging if they find out something is fragile. I fell for it once, but never again. If you double box like Windstone does you shouldn’t have any worries.
Fed-Ex. Hmm… well, I never sent anything through them, but I have received 2 packages from them. The delivery person (both times) mis-delivered my packages to another house quite a ways away (since they transposed the numbers for the address). Their turn around time for fixing the problem was around 2 days plus. (If it is after normal delivery hours – forget it.) I ended up just going over the other address and picking it up myself. No one ever followed up. For this reason alone, I think they are not worth the price. For some areas though, they might be the best carrier.
It just depends on the service (for any carrier) where you live. I’m sorry we couldn’t give a definitive carrier to use all the time and for every place.

On my monitor the dark brown areas look like the dark brown on the shoulder of the gold sitting spectral.
FYI — I PM’d Melody about this and this is what she said:Melody wrote:I don’t know. I left before these were completed! We are in Corvallis now. I think that the sample that was photo-ed was my paint sample, and it was exceptionally dark on the front. Most of the others I looked at (before I left) were much lighter golden color on front. Since this is the first batch, there will be a bit more variety in the color. As a production piece settles into a paint routine, they become much more consistant in color.
We are still working the color scheme out on these. You might want to ask Susie or somebody at the shop to look at one for you..I did call Susie about this but she wasn’t sure either.
I’m really curious now too. Let us know what you find out.

Me too. I forgot about that one.

*cough* Need you ask?
Just curious. I thought the white griffins were selling out of their last batch. The crouching chick is sold out but the item listing is still there. Does that mean another batch will be made?
This one is for you guys. If anyone gives you a hard time for spending hundred of dollars on a Windstone, just show them this auction.
All of those are nice options. The white scratchers are the prettiest IMO, but out of the three you listed I would lean toward the Em Pea. I must say that the peacock scratcher is also very nice in person. Let us know what you decide to go for.
This is a tough question. There are not many movies I will go out and buy, but there are a few (no order):
A Man for All Seasons
Gattaca
Labyrinth
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Catwoman (yea, it was bad, but I liked parts of it)
Rudy
The Matrix (the first one only)
Night at the Museum
Beauty and the Beast
X-Men tilogy
Equilibrium (like The Matrix, but still good)There are a couple of others, but can’t think of them right now.
There is nothing I can say that will help (that hasn’t already been said). But my thoughts are with you all. *HUGS+HUGS+HUGS+HUGS*
