[QUOTE="freeloader, post: 319866, member: 12163"] I always thought that MBE offered much better service at a reasonable price than the UPS Store does. Everything at the UPS Store is ridiculously priced. I recently went to the UPS Store to ship something. I was helped by a kid who looked to be about 19 or so. The shipping charges amounted to about 8 or 9 bucks, then he wanted to charge me another few dollars for a new box and another few dollars for him to "professionally" package it for me. I saw a few used boxes (in good condition) behind the counter area and asked if I could use one of those. Nope, you have to buy a brand new box he told me. Everything there was a rip-off. I ended up going to the post office and shipping it using the "media rate" for way less. The UPS Store sucks. It also seems that UPS strategically places new corporate-owned UPS Stores so that they will compete with the MBE franchisees. Why would they do that other than to line their own pockets instead of letting the franchisees make a few bucks. It looks like pure, ruthless, corporate greed. [/QUOTE]
