Never really paid attention to the cost of what I was shipping. They are very convenient, always had great service and will continue to utilize their business.

I would think it would have been more productive to call the Pack N Ship and asked them about the huge discrepancy between the two prices. If you had not gotten a good reply, then jumping onto the forum would seem fair.
I personally thought the upcharge for using them instead of the post office was just a couple of dollars. Having used them for almost 20 years now, I have found that there is a discrepancy in pricing depending on which person is helping you. Usually I get two quotes (one to find out the price to ship an item, and then when I actually ship the item, usually only hours apart), but one time I ended up contacting 3 different people for the same item, and got 3 different prices. I have always chalked it up to poor training, rather than a rip-off. When I visited them this last week, the faces were new, so you could very well have been dealing with a person who could have used some help. Anyhow, I’d definitely call and complain. |

I called pack & ship after I got home after comparing prices.... basically told me there not the boss and they don’t set the prices..... that’s the way it is......

Convenience is opening a USPS & UPS account for free.(takes 5 min).. printing your own label and dropping your package off..... no lines no waiting....

The UPS Store charges published UPS rates. No markup. I owned UPS Stores for 30 years. They receive a discount and must charge published rates. FYI

Always best to use the name brand....The Post Office is the cheapest and the fastest when shipping.

Pack and ship price gougers
[yesterday I stood in line about 15 minutes to ship a gift box weighing less than 7lbs to
our grandchild in Oahu, HI. $120.00!!!!! I asked why so much and was told because it’s going to Hawaii. Are you serious?! So we took it home, put it on the shelf and shopped Amazon. Free shipping plus 5 bucks for gift package and card. QUOTE=rnbpoutney;1868149]Just got back from Pack & Ship store on Bichara Blvd.. mailing a 3 lb package to Winter Haven size was 14x4x4”. Clerk at Pack n Ship said best price was USPS for $15.95. And UPS was $17.44. Then said would do the UPS for the same price.... thought I was getting a deal... 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.....[/QUOTE] |
