[QUOTE="IDoLessWorkThanMost, post: 309634, member: 12912"] The surcharge is you must have shipped it at a UPS store? ! Hard to imagine that price at a customer counter. :biting: At the counter I'm at, ship a 1 pound package, lets say 8x8x8 to CT from Boston is about 6.50$, bottom line, limited surchages etc. Most surcharges are dimensional, and the USPS will actually charge higher surcharges for dimensional up in this neck of the woods. I.E. 24x24x24 1 pound box is billed as 50 lbs, so maybe you got hit there? Worst part about the UPS store BTW, (OT here), they charge 1$ per drop off! RS, ARS, prepaid 4x6 label ETC. Customers can just drop them at the counter or in a drop box for nada. Robbery! Simiarly, they can charge their own rates - though they are given UPS rates. What a ripoff those leeches are (in most cases, maybe not all?) I have seen quotes of $3,000 for international shipping at a UPS store that at the Counter totalled around $800. Last bit of information, UPS ground rates are going up 6.0% and Air rates 18% starting March 4th, 2008. Cost of Fuel increase...where are our raises increased though? :sick: [/QUOTE]
