Marie/Jade:
Another thing you may want to check for when using FedEx, UPS or Airborne, is if the area you are overnighting the package is actually an area they deliver in the morning or even overnight. We are in an extremely rural area (read drive 30 minutes to get to anywhere) and UPS only delivers in the afternoon. Airborne delivers maybe twice a week. I constantly go round with some of our suppliers about Airborne. They just don't realize that if they pay for overnight through Airborne, it may be three days before they get it to us.
I also do the Sam's Club deal too for all our sodas, coffee, bathroom supplies, etc. I've also found they are much cheaper on post its, file folders and writing tablets. The only problem is when they don't have what I need. Copy paper is also better priced there, but since I often go alone, I refuse to even try to get it. My car can only handle so much weight. Besides, lifting the drinks has gotten to be so hard on my back that I have started dragging someone with me to do the lifting.
