!!!!!SHIPPING!!!!!!!

[Diesel]

Well........... I got shocked............ no really SHOCKED!!

I have been shipping quite a few boxes over the time but not this year yet!
Drove to the FedEx this afternoon where I always go and dropped a box off about 5Lb and the lady quoted me $141.65.........:eek:...........:mad:............:( exactly!!
Last year I paid similar around $80 which I have been paying all the time.
Told her that it doesn't have to go to Mars you know............ she had no :( humor :( I can tell you that.
Now I know if you set up a account with FedEx you come in a lower rate but what is low if you mail out maybe 4 boxes a month?
Next week I have to mail out a similar box to San Antonio....... I might just drive up there and do the river walk with the lady and come back same day, probably only $50 in Diesel fuel (Yes I drive a HD Diesel truck ;) and not related to my name)

You may not be a UPS fan, but most of the local UPS Stores are franchised, and you can establish an account with them to help lower the cost and I don't think there is a limit to how many times you have to use it or anything!

I had to ship some stuff back from AZ to FL last year. Is was quite a bit of weight, May be 150 lbs and I was going to send it ground. FedEx quoted something like $600.00 plus. I forgot that I had a FedEx account, and not pleased as I was leaving the door. I remembered I had an account. I turned around and had FedEx re-quote the ship with my account and it was around $150.00. Setup and account you can save 50% to 70% on shipping. The account is free and there is no quota for shipping volume.

Bad:D

pete beat me to it, but at least register for a SYA account and you can see if it works out. I use SYA to ship quit a bit, albeit not for overnight and get decent prices.

Good luck with that, FedEx is strange with shipping costs if you do not have an account.

Hey SWEET! I didnt know you had my address!




The UPS and USPS both have given me stupid quotes in the store. I have gone home done it online and got the "real rate" I dont know how many times.
