[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 533048, member: 18471"] Maybe there prices/profits are determined by contract. I often sell things on ebay, have used the ebay calculator for shipping expenses, and I'd go to my local UPS store, (was formerly a mailboxes, etc.) and the price would be higher. So last week I used the UPS time/cost calculator and got a price to ship something and the price was $9.62. I took it to the UPS store and the cost was $11.15. Going over the details, the cost to ship was the same, the fuel surcharge was higher and there was a delivery area surcharge that was $1.30 more, then there is a processing fee. of $.20. A total of $1.53. I called the UPS store customer service # and was told they could CHARGE WHAT THEY WANTED. I shipped something else the following week and went to a different UPS store. This time the only difference was the $.20 processing fee.Guess who's getting my business in the future? I can live with that, but to hide the charges in the fuel surcharge, (granted the difference there was $.03) and the delivery area surcharge is what ticked me off. Plus I've previously had to dig in my pocket because I can't accurately estimate the costs. Bad enough people say the costs are too high, what started me checking was someone emailed me and said the 1st item should only cost $5.99 to ship across the country. [/QUOTE]
