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.....
If you want to talk about rip offs, try shopping at Publix. I compared their prices to win Dixie and Walmart neighborhood and was shocked. I’m not talking about a few cents, I’m talking dollars on each item. I go for the deli because it’s better but I’m not paying 25% more for regular standard food. The moral of the story, if you don’t like the price, shop somewhere else
