[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 251993, member: 4777"] nobodys touching on the point that ups is cheaper than the post office on most weights and in almost all zones now. This is true. Except for the usps flat rate boxes, which can be filled up 70 lbs. I have a customer that ships out heavy steel tow chains in flat rate boxed going across the country 65 lbs for the flat rate fee. Usps is loosing their asses on these. :thumbup1: But look at regular size boxes and weights and zones, ups is cheaper. I guess its a problem of getting these packages to ups. I believe dhl and fedex both charge pickup charges. I have seen ups discounts for small and medium size customers, they are pretty good, a 40 lb ground box costing under 10 bucks, where at the ups store it would cost 45 bucks with box, packing stuff, and "expert" packing.
