Need to get a package from Baltimore to Los Angeles real fast? Who do you call? Federal Express? Airborne? UPS Overnight? Those options make sense for overnight deliveries. But suppose you want to get it there the same day? How about calling the U.S. Post Office.
Huh? That's right ... the Post Office Express Mail Same Day Airport Service is the fastest -- and most economical -- of all Express Mail options. There is, of course, a catch. You have to go a little out of your way. There are 66 airport mail facilities across the country. For as low as $8.35, you can deliver your letter or package to one of the AMF's and the post office clerks will place it on the next available flight to an AMF in the destination city. Your shipment will be available for pickup once the plane has landed and your package unloaded. Coast to coast in as little as six hours. Wow! In Baltimore contact BWI Airport's AMF at 410/347-4545. For other cities, contact the local main post office and ask the Express Mail Manager for details. Same day shipping for under nine bucks -- that's a bargain at double the price!
