BEWARE: I went to the UPS Store on Bella Cruz (441) to ship a large painting that I sold on Ebay. They quoted me $133.00 to pack and ship and I knew this was way too much since I have done this before in another State. I went to Pack and Ship on CR101 and shipped it the same way for $78.00. The staff there was extremely nice. I will always use Pack and Ship now.

If you do your own packing, the cost to ship at Pack & Ship will be higher(sometimes a lot more) than taking it to the post office.

I later discovered this is not really a UPS store operated by UPS. Rather it is little more than a privately owned store that has UPS shipping priviledges. Aparently this store is free to set their own shipping charges. |

As a letter carrier, I have many postal patrons that use Priority Mail "Click & Ship". I use it myself. Very convenient. I print labels right at home, boxes are free, and we'll pick up the packages at your house at no charge with the "carrier pickup" program. It's very easy to set up your account t online. Ask your carrier about it or stop at the PO.

If you can wrap and pack yourself, the Staples on 441 is a pick-up point for UPS. I don't know if their rates are high or not. I had to send back a printer in a prepaid box and just dropped it off there.
