why ups why

[The Batt?sai]

how come shipping a 30 pound speaker set cost me $11 ups ground from va to Oklahoma but shipping 2 items that weighed together less than a pound from the ups store via ups ground to other locations within virginia cost me $21?

Overhead?

 

[FoBoT]

ups store rates are higher than the commercial rate that the speaker dude paid

 

[intogamer]

When you go to the UPS Store you are basically paying fee for a store owner that is using his UPS Account

Companies get discounts ya know

Ship from a Staples instead.

I have never really understood shipping rates unless they are set strictly by weight.
