[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 3525905, member: 1"] [URL='http://www.4-traders.com/UNITED-PARCEL-SERVICE-14758/news/United-Parcel-Service-UPS-Really-Doesn-t-Want-to-Ship-Your-Refrigerator-With-Your-Socks-26644130/'][B]United Parcel Service : UPS Really Doesn't Want to Ship Your Refrigerator With Your Socks - 4Traders[/B][/URL] United Parcel Service Inc. jacked up fees by 30% to $650 for the largest items it delivers to discourage shippers from putting kayaks, refrigerators and other oversize items into a network meant for smaller parcels. The higher fee on "over maximum limit," or overmax, items is currently $500 and will jump on June 4. "The charge is intended to encourage shippers to use the UPS Freight network for these large items," UPS spokesman Glenn Zaccara said. UPS's parcel network is primarily built for small and medium-size packages, which can zip through some automated sortation hubs at the rate of 416,000 an hour. Some large and irregular-size packages need extra handling and routing to bypass conveyor belts built for the smaller items, adding costs. [/QUOTE]
