UPS just charged me 9 dollars to ship something 25 miles.

1lb.

wtf.

edit: went with the postal service instead. 4.20 with delivery confirmation. UPS ripoff!

UPS is sometimes better for large items, otherwise USPS ftw.

I'd have to go across the ferry. It's 25 miles, but in Washington I'd have to take a ferry to get their, or drive a long way around.

The ferry would cost 10 bucks probably, plus a couple of hours each way because it's the most used one in the state I believe Lines are like 3 hours each way.

I had to pay $117 for over night shipping for a 12"x9"x6" box that weighed 3 pounds...

well yeah it's overnight. They have to fly that out on a plane, AND they need to get it through the system in only a few hours.

Normally it takes a couple of hours to run through the whole system in one site.

all companies have base rates (MINIMUM rates they charge to provide YOU a service).. When you learn that, you will be ahead of the game, I guess!

Wow.

I wouldn't worry about $9 then.
