The UPS Store

Feel so stupid after I walked out. Thanks for your stupid comment and fake friendly attitude!

If you’ve got something prepaid and just want to drop it off, this place is OK.
If you want to have something packed and shipped, don’t even bother! I tried to ship a 25 lb item via UPS Ground which they quoted $ 185. It did include packaging which would then «up size» the measurements (thus increasing the cost and additional fees on the shipment.)
I took my item home, boxed it up myself, created a UPS shipper account through eBay and Paypal, and shipped the EXACT same item for $ 32.
When shipping an item I may have the address already printed and ready but they still make me fill out a form with the same information. I ask what that’s for and they say they need to type it into the computer. Uh, what? Can’t you type from the nicely printed piece of paper I have in my hand that I’m willing to give you instead of trying to decipher my crappy penmanship?
I believe the pricing strategy at the UPS store is as follows: UPS RETAIL pricing + UPS Store mark up (100%) + any packaging + $ 100/​hour labor. I could be wrong. They don’t explain their rates. They just say, «That’s what it says in the computer.»
