But you'll need a cassette to put it in and those cost about $300 each. Then of course you'll need a radiograph machine and that runs about $200k. Then you'll need to know how to measure and set the machine and radiation monitoring badges and two people trained to hold and position the animal. Then you'll need a developer and those run about $3k. Then you'll need to be trained to read the film and interpret it and that education cost about $250K. So I can sell you a sheet of film for $4 and you can go buy and get all that other stuff or I can use my stuff and my people and you can pay me $75."

He called me an asshole and paid for the x-ray.

So we can go start our own shipping company or just pay them for the plains, trains and automobiles they already have in place.

Well said. Everybody's an expert on other people's business. Truth is we don't know shit and sometimes need told about it.

USPS delivered a case of ammunition to my PETA neighbor, and lost a scope from opticsplanet.

Fedex has delivered most of what I have trusted them to, but it's usually in a few different pieces and in a new box and half a roll of packing tape to keep all the contents in it.

UPS is by and large the best carrier out there, imho.
