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.....
Rates are set by local owners. Anything in the villages pays 30% extra because of the rent they pay to the Morse family. That’s UPS FedEx etc

The only way to get around that is to go to a corporate location. Like most good convenient things that’s far away.
