Pack N Ship and Safe SHip gets a discount from the carriers but also has to make a PROFIT to pay the employees, pay the rent, pay for the A/C, pay for insurance. They can't do that selling mailing envelopes for $2. Think of it as a convenience fee and not a rip-off because it really isn't a rip-off.
Good response not everything is cheap , make your choice convenience or price.
