UPS can suck it...
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....
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

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.
Living a life kept shut by a dream,
I'm reaching out to grasp my reality.
Hands of time wrap tight around my neck, and hit me so hard,
leaving me eyes black.
staring at a ceiling,
wondering why i never left,
penning words in a notebook,
wondering why haven't slept.
sanity is tapping in a cell
inside my fucking head.
begging for redemption
after hearing what was said.
the nights, they will not sleep
cause the days, have played for keeps.

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.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
