Choice
By Mitch Berg
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
You have a choice of shipping company. FedEx just dropped its NRA discount.
Given FedEx’s performances this last couple years, the NRA might be getting the better end of that deal.
But while I haven’t used FedEx in quite some time, I am never using them again.

Actually not to rain on your parade, Mitch. It’s not a ‘woke’ moment for Fedex with the NRA. It’s just a financial thing. Not enough NRA folk were using the program so they changed them into a different program.

I started flying regularly with NWA in ‘93. Switched to Delta when they bought NWA. I was a consistent Gold member, ocaisiomally making Platinum. I cut up my Delta Credit card and switched to American after Delta dissed my NRA. It actually cost me something to make a statement.
For the last three months, I’ve flown American, and am just 4000 miles from Gold status.
It won’t cost me nuthin to drop FedEx.
I am the NRA

FFL holder, modest amount of yearly transactions. I do ship using Fedex. I had no idea they had preferred rates for NRA members.
The big deal about FedEx and guns is they ostensibly require one to ship handguns overnight, which is about an $85 minimum proposition. There is great sport in subverting this rule and getting your package into the delivery chain with a 2 day sticker, which is $30 or less.

John, seems you’re saying that NRA members should have dropped FedEx a long time ago. Am I reading that right?
