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.....

A business must make a profit, pay employees, rent, utilities, postal or UPS costs, etc. Sounds like you think a 90% or less mark up is too much. Have you bought furniture lately? What do you think the markup is on that? Why did you not just go to the post office? Don't bad mouth a small business when you went to it for ease and service.
