I brought in a package weighing 20 ounces to mailboxes, etc., store which franchises with UPS. They quoted me $45 for UPS overnight service from Maryland to PA. I asked could they send it U.S. mail overnight. They said, "sure." The price was $38.00. I left, went on the USPS website, put in the zip codes & weight and bought a $14.00 label for overnight mail. $14 vs. about $40, so I called UPS. They said mailboxes etc., was a separate company & they could charge whatever they wanted. I asked them the following: "Does that mean they could charge me $100 to send a one ounce letter?" UPS customer service said, "I guess so. We don't control them." Is something wrong with this picture or is it true they can charge whatever they want for handling or whatever the F___ they do. I brought in the sealed box with my pre-printed USPS to the same store--they didn't want to accept it. They said USPS didn't like to accept "big packages." 1/2 hour before they were ready to ship it? Legal??
