So it just cost me less to FedEx my rig for a repack than to drive it.

I didn't really want to drive the ~120 miles each way to my DZ to drop off my rig, so I put it into a box and plugged the numbers into a shipping calculator:

$23.17 with $2,500 worth of insurance via FedEx 2day to my rigger's house, vs $24 in fuel + 4 hours out of my day.

That's crazy :S

Any how is the rig getting back to you? ;)

I actually thought about that too... but then realized that he wasn't going to need it unless/until he was at the dz...and could probably pick it up there... at least I would guess the rigger goes to the dz once in a while at least... :D

I can see his house when I'm in freefall, I'll just pick up the rig at the DZ.. he's there pretty much every day we jump, and if not, I can pick it up at his house.

WOW, that's not bad.... I just might have to follow your lead!

Canopy was more or less unpacked, too. I put it into the freebag, but the spring was still extended, etc etc. If it were completely packed it'd have been a bit cheaper since it'd have been a smaller box

What you dont want is to be freefalling, see his house and think "shit, I knew there was something I had to get".

That could really make you day suck.

Two of the three voices in my head agree with you. It might actually be unanimous but voice three only speaks Welsh.

Just spit soda through my nose. Well done.
