FedEx $75 to ship my Micro back

Post by coolhl »

PLEASE NOTE I ORIGINALLY POSTED UPS AS THE CARRIER SINCE I TOLD MY WIFE TO SHIP IT UPS AND NOW THAT I LOOK AT THE BILL IT WAS SHIPPED FEDEX.
SHE TOLD THE SHIPPING STORE TO SEND IT UPS. WONDER WHAT UPS WOULD HAVE BEEN....

For you guys in the continental USA how do you ship your bows back for repairs. UPS charged my wife $75 to ship ground with insurance for $700.
Shipping from north Florida to Ohio.... Sounds steep to me.....unless you are a business it has gotten so expensive to ship UPS....next time will try FedEX unless you guys have a better idea.

You can check shipping rates on USPS based on package size. They might be cheaper

I always try to avoid ups, fedex and the like at all costs! I'd sooner pay for usps/canpost xpress then use the parcel co's

if you think 75 is bad, you should see what it cost to get something across the border with their brokerage fees!

(sorry upsguy, I mean no personal disrespect)

Yes,
I just think UPS doesn't want to deal with individuals and prefers business customers. It was sent UPS to me by Danny Miller and I am sure he didn't pay 75 bucks.

Anthony, just stipulate that shipping charges are in addition to asking price. As a Canadian I really appreciate the 'muricans who are willing to ship to canader! and usps is usually the way to go.

Danny has sent me a bow or two FedEx. and shipping was reasonable, but when I went to the FedEx place they wanted anout 40.00 US. Go figure.
