[QUOTE="pickup, post: 1193012"] I think I , and many others here, have figured out how these UPS stores work. They are the shipper and get a volume discount .The customer theoretically pays the same price that hewould if he shipped the package by himself(without the volume discount). The discount would be the UPS store's profit. However, many customers don't check what it would cost to ship themselves and end up paying a much higher price at the store. There are a few that will mention the price they encountered on line. The UPS store personnel could double check and "realize" their error or convince the customers that they didn't put all the parameters in correctly. So, that's how a UPS store makes money. Now apparently, they found another angle :by decreasing the stated weights , they pay less to ship packages. Their customer, shipping a 65 pound box, paid willingly some more dough to ship a heavy box. The UPS store is not willing to pay the extra money to ship that same heavy box. [/QUOTE]
