As we have discovered this summer, freight prices have sky-rocketed. Allen
had the same problem getting his frame shipped from Houston, making it
unfeasable. Recently, I had to notify a buyer in CA that the hood he bought
from me will cost $125.00 + crating to transport. I used to ship them for
about $80.00 via Overnite Transp., but they have been gobbled up by UPS, and
high fuel prices are causing all of the carriers to go up.

I wonder why the delivery services (UPS, FedEx, etc) haven't gone back down
on their prices...gas prices around here have dropped from $3.09 a gallon
down to $2.75 per gallon. Noticed this past weekend in Austin TX that you
could buy gas for $2.66.

Prices should be lower than that given the level of fuel stocks, (two
year high). But the marketplace is no longer driven solely by
availability vs. demand.

Also probably the reason why delivery prices didn't immediately go up when
they jumped 25 cents. If people expect businesses to change their prices
everytime gasoline prices fluctuate they're crazy.

I expect corporations to take profits when they can, and hope that some of
the $$ will go toward some extra exploration.
