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. |

FedEx oversized rates are girth + length not to exceed 130". At 66" the package should not be considered oversized. You have to watch the counter person like a hawk when they are measuring the box to be shipped.
