I would think it would have been more productive to call the Pack N Ship and asked them about the huge discrepancy between the two prices. If you had not gotten a good reply, then jumping onto the forum would seem fair.
I personally thought the upcharge for using them instead of the post office was just a couple of dollars. Having used them for almost 20 years now, I have found that there is a discrepancy in pricing depending on which person is helping you. Usually I get two quotes (one to find out the price to ship an item, and then when I actually ship the item, usually only hours apart), but one time I ended up contacting 3 different people for the same item, and got 3 different prices. I have always chalked it up to poor training, rather than a rip-off. When I visited them this last week, the faces were new, so you could very well have been dealing with a person who could have used some help. Anyhow, I’d definitely call and complain.
