I just got sticker shock trying to help fellow teener with a freebie long heater tube. I went to USPS and UPS for prices. The package was OVERSIZE (anything over 12"). Package was 4.4#. 32x10x7 Prices were for online shipping.

UPS (5 days) $26.05 Billed for 14#
USPS (2 days) $34.60

I hate getting taken. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Somebody is making a whole lot of money here.

Realities come into play here. When one rents an 1000 sf warehouse and only utilize the front office. Do you actually think the landlord will only charge you for the front office when the rest of the warehouse is empty? Also, for those that live in states that will increase the minimum wage to $15.00 / hr, do you think that say $3.00 burger will still be $3.00?
Depending on what you are doing, cost is going up in one way or another.
