A company called Northwest Cargo HQ'd in New York stating it complies with the California Online Privacy Protection Act. Geographic confusion is a bad sign in a forwarder.

To cap it all it uses the services of UPS.

Requirements

Ability to stand and walk for long periods of time;

My Labrador Retriever has applied.
