[isekii]

LoL.

Arnold Diaz owned them good.

He got shipping quotes from 2 different Mail Box etc compared to Fedex, UPS and USPS.

Fedex was cheapest, Usps ranked 2nd and UPS 3rd.

for a 15lb package.. already self packed. one of the mail box etc... charged more than 3 x the normal shipping price at a fedex location.

how insane is that.

That's how life works.

USPS could charge less if it wanted to, but it would push other shippers out of business, so they try to keep their prices in the middle.

I went to ship a 19 inch TV about 10 years ago at Mail Box Etc and they wanted $140. I didn't not to ship the TV and bought a new TV instead because it was only $50 more to buy the same TV.

I don't know how they get away from the outrageous price they charge. Now owned by UPS.
