I ordered a piece of original comic art, and the shipper sent it UPS...
What a pain in the ass...
1) They are more expensive than USPS.
2) They only deliver during 9-5.
Yeah fantastic idea everybody is at home during those hours right... no one has to goto work or anything.
3) Four weeks later, and I just got a bill from them saying i owe them a bunch of money, there was no mention of owing them funds when i finally did
get my package in hand. If not i would have refused it and got the shipper to resend it another way.
So i payed $25 shipping for the item.
And now they want me to pay another $65... So that would be $90 in shipping and fees...
PISSED!
I should really just send them the HST (tax) owed, (which is fair) and give them a detailed list of charges for me to send them the $$...
Time off work to goto the post office fee - $25
Money order charge - $5
Postage fee - $1
Shipping supplies fee - $2
Fuel Charge fee - $5

What exactly are they charging you for?
Did you talk to them?
Call and complain, that's the American way.
Oh, wait....

not to mention UPS dudes smash stuff!
I did UPS receiving years ago at one job and everything was tossed around and smashed

$64.77 to ship?
Jesus it better be a car or something if it cost that much...
Dave - 10-15-2010 at 03:02 PM
I payed $25 to ship it, these are extra border fees.......
it was a big envelope, with a drawing in it.
BDx13 - 10-15-2010 at 03:16 PM
$65 for an envelope.
wow.
we just paid $250 to ship 5,000 CDs across the country.

yeah but anything going over the border is a fucking nightmare BD...
takes for fucking ever, and they charge you out the ass...

When I used to buy a lot of stuff on ebay I never bought from anybody who only use UPS. They charge you like mad. I've had the same problem as Dave
more than once.
Canada Post can be assholes too. Any time they open a package to inspect it's contents they put on a $5 surcharge for doing it. Basically you're
paying extra because somebody did their job.

Fucks me off too.
My lady bought a dress from the U S and because like Discipline said they did their jobs they saw fit to stick a £11 charge on. On a already $30
shipping cost.

I hate UPS as well and here are my 2 hate stories...
When I would gety somthing cheap that I don't care about I would ask them to just leave it on the door, but NO they need me to sign for it. I got my
Xbox 360 repaired and sent back and I told them I want to make sure it doesn't just get left on the porch so what do I come home to? My xbox 360
sitting in front of my door! Fucking assholes!
Also,
I used to live right near the UPS shipping center and the trucks would go all the way out and work their way in towards the center. So, I was always
the last house to get hit. They were supposed to be done by 7 and some nights while waiting for a package, I wouldn't get it till almost 9:00pm.

I don't even get that sort of shit when I order to Australia lol. Amazon usually comes through DHL, I don't remember who Interpunk sent with, and
good old Australia Post/normal mail all come without any hidden fees. Sucks to be stuck behind a UPS order, I'd send the shit back if it showed up at
my door with unannounced fees or post the invoice to the company who shipped it to you.
Dave - 10-16-2010 at 04:33 PM
yeah i just signed for the package, and they gave it to me, 3 weeks later i get the bill in the mail.......dirty bastards. They probably do it that
way so people dont have the option of sending it back...
