I always try to get things sent from the US by USPS. I've has golf clubs sent from Ohio using UPS and got burned for $80 fee. Likewise I've had other golf clubs, big boxes, hobby cards and such through USPS and never had a fee.cbh747 said:Yes, but I thought it was just 6 percent. You may be right (6 and 3). I paid $40 on the last Strat that I got about 6 months ago. That was through USPS. If I had gone through UPS it probably would have cost a couple of hundred in "brokerage fees"
The savings were significant.
See that may be the one downside then of USPS even though we rarely get a tax or fee come time to pick our items up.torndownunit said:My input on this only comes from the US sellers I have bought items from. I personally have been lucky. I have ordred a lot of stuff online, and never had any horror stories. But the sellers I have dealt with have told me they have had way more problems getting insurance money from USPS than from UPS. So I am speaking in general terms.
