Five Tips for Lowering Shipping Costs
Apr 11, 2007 11:20 AM , By Colleen Paulson Ensuring that you do not overpay on your small-package shipments can seem like a monumental task. Because of the extra expense incurred in residential deliveries, shippers such as FedEx, United Parcel Service, and DHL charge significantly more for residential shipments.

Commercial shipments are less expensive than residential shipments but can incur additional costs via pricy surcharges. More Send me your comments and questions.

Must-haves for 2007
From National Jeweler Maeve Gillies/MaeVona For 2007, the hottest item will be a sophisticated statement piece that works for day and evening wear. Such a multitasking jewel needs lots of personality to dress up any outfit yet should also be discreet, in a feminine shape and soft colors. My choice is the delicately shield-shaped MaeVona Goddess ring, Andraste (left), named after the Celtic goddess of battle and protection. |
