| - For shipping small stuff, like sub 10"x10"x10", then this place is alright and stays pretty true to the UPS shipping calculator.
However, after that size, things go all to hell in a hand basket.
Entered on the UPS shipping calculator a bike box and its weight. According to the dimensions and weight, it should have been $82.40 to ship my bike from Phoenix to Kansas.
However, the kid at the register quotes me $155.
I make him remeasure, and his numbers were almost 15" off, which really does affect the price of shipping. He tries to play it off, telling me that if he'd gotten it right it would only save me $3.
I grabbed my box, drove to the USPS up the street, and shipped the bike for $80 flat to my guy in Kansas.
I get that businesses are in business to make money, but this is some bullshit price gouging. If you're shipping a big parcel, avoid this place.
