went home and decided that was a lot of money for mailing to Winter Haven... looked up the price for USPS ....the price was $8.70 and the UPS was $10.73... Also UPS will pick up at your door....... I don’t mind anyone making a buck but that was a ripoff...... last time I ever use the Pack & Ship places in the Villages.....
They are there for convenience. Yes it does cost more to use their service but they have to change for it because they have rent to pay, overhead expenses, and payroll to meet. You didn’t get ripped off you payed for their service. You could have driven over to the post office off of 442/27, stood in line for 20/30 minutes but you chose a more convenient method and you paid for that convenience.
