There should be a piling on penalty. I wouldn't worry about it.

No need to change. Just start a new account.

I think the point of this thread got lost long ago. It wasn't the high cost but the unsupported accusation of "RIP-OFF" vs. "WOW! That was (or would have been) very expensive for a 1lb package and a 50cent box." Words DO matter.

I agree Ed my poor choice of words and the cold weather have led to this. Len

Maybe you could ask the mods to delete it for you

Before I retired my last business involved mail order and I shipped about 200,000 packages over 15 years. I never used a third party, which is what a 'Pack n Ship' or Kinkos or any similar type business.

You didn't say what part of TV you're located, I'll use my references which are in the southern end. In Wildwood there is a post office, these boxes are free, the one in the middle is $7.20 anywhere and will arrive in about 3 days.

Stamps.com - USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate, Flat Rate Boxes

The Villages Florida

The post office is in the shopping center on the east side of 301 that has the large antique mall on the right and is by the Ace Hardware and looks like this.

The Villages Florida

If I have something bigger to ship like say a computer or something you're selling on eBay and you want confirmation of delivery and $100 coverage, then I go directly to Fedex. They have an actual location on 44 just east of Morse, you'll pass the gun shop on the right and it will be on the left behind a few other buildings and looks like this.

FedEx Ship Center - Leesburg, FL - 121 Satellite Court 34748

OP, has a right to call his encounter with this particular business as he saw it at the time. He moved on and so should we IMHO.

Big deal. Who doesn't make an error once in a while? The man said he was sorry for his choice of words. Let him be.

If this Blip keeps anyone from using "The Business" then that would be their loss. Investment Painting has done most of our neighborhood and all are happy.

Let it go, Mr. Len. We met and I think you were a great person and a straight shooter. Those prices would have shocked me too.

As a suggestion (a bad one? ), maybe PM the Admin/mods to see if they will let you sign up with another user name, then give this one to your son (as long as you're comfortable giving him the password)...for continued business/advertising purposes?
