OK I have a gripe

with the usps and their new rates.

Can you believe a box for the bottle stack I sold on ebay will run around 58.28 or 77.50 express.

UPS only 18.45. May try another size box and see what it comes up with then.

And you cant trust then to give you a quote on the phone because I did that last week with a package going air mail to a friend in Australia and the girl quoted me 10.10 delivery in 5 days and got to post office it was 15.20  and 5-7 days delivery.

I really hate these new requirements on box weight and size.

UPS is doing the same thing with box size.. We ship daily at work, and we've gotten screwed a few times because of box size. We now measure almost every box to CYA.

yeah, it has gotten expensive used to be based on the 108" rule and the 17 inches but now anything larger than 12 inches in any direction gets very expensive if you are going out of your zone.

UPS has just screwed up to many packages for me....

Speaking from experience with shipping stuff to Oz, the post office is normally clueless.. I've had the same experience many times..
