Hey, they were not only out of a job, they were in Utah. Feel sorry for them.

UPS Critical is not really an "internet shopping cart" sort of service. You call them and they put together a bid for you. Incongruously, they do close at some point; I tried to use them to get a hard drive from Seattle to Texas at 10PM on a Sunday and they wouldn't pick up the phone. I actually had to resort to calling jet charter before I discovered that it costs more than $40k to round up a jet pilot on a Sunday night.
