Default Villages Pack and Ship

No wonder the Pack and Ship place near to Winn Dixie was totally empty. They wanted to charge me a mega price to ship one envelope, more than $21 for something that would have cost about $10! So I declined and bought the stamps instead, the price for the stamps was an additional $5!!! I queried it and was told rather brusquely that I was not in the Post office! I will not be giving that place any more of my business. Their office on 466 is a much more pleasant establishment, although no doubt the prices are the same.

We went there one and learned our lesson. While the people there were very nice to us we had a few packages already to be sent so needed shipping and ins. Well you would have thought we wee shipping a piece of furniture, almost $100 later we said well we learned that lesson the hard way. This year was better using USPS but next year I am going back to just ordering online with Free shipping and letting it go at that!

I had no issues with the one on 466. I made a quick phone call first as I was expecting a surcharge; pay for convenience. I was pleased that I could drop off my fed ex packages with no surcharge I would have paid one anyway but wanted to be prepared. Everything delivered without a hitch. I admit to just not wanting to go and wait at USPS wish there were an automated station here.

You definitely pay for covenience, almost to a fault. Check for coupons to ease the pain a little.
