Shipping Costs

Mary and I are waiting for our trucking friend's return to L.A. but in the mean time there is one piece of luggage with summer clothes that will be sent to us via my daughter, who can use her husband's discount at FedEx.
Transporting extra luggage via different shipping rather than paying for the airline luggage is the latest trend and the beginning of several new business opportunities. Here is a sample of shipping charges.
