[QUOTE="RustyPMcG, post: 778814, member: 30339"] I'll bet that car dealer has charged some kind of towel or supplies charge in his service department even if they decided they didn't need any supplies. So the fuel surcharge is different for Air than Ground. Big deal. The fuel surcharge for (insert any marketing name for any class of service) relates to the fuel cost over that whole service segment divied-up among all parcels in that segment. It doesn't mean you're paying for jet fuel, or diesel for a truck. It's the fuel cost for the service segment. But I guess since car dealers are sued all the time, that's the only way he knows how to act. If your only tool is a hammer, every problem is a nail. Any way you cut it, it's frivolous. Whether you're talking about the base rate before the fuel surcharge, or the bottom line after the fuel surcharge, prices are easily obtained for any parcel at any service level, and can be compared against each other, or the competing services. The line-items that add up to the bottom line shouldn't matter to anyone. Either the bottom line is acceptable, or it's not, and there are other choices out there to make. [/QUOTE]
