Thanks for the help, MAN I looked through the mailing list looking for
something relating to my problem and didn't find anything! I guess I'll
just have to get better at searching. Thats a good start for me. I think I
know what to do in this instance. I wonder if anyone knows if the special
shipping agency of FedEx and UPS that ships items over 150lbs has a server
that can be queried for pricing. Cuz I know there is a special division of
UPS and FEDEX that handles 150+ lbs. deliveries. I'll have to investigate
it further...
