  Because unless you do daily shipping of packages, it is damned
expensive and inconvenient.
  On that cable, USPS will run $3.50 or $4. Five bucks to find a
box/mailer, pack it, address it, and take it to the P.O., probably
equals about $2.50/hr wages for most of us.
  Not to say that the $40 S&H I often see on 20lb systems is right or
reasonable....
