1 ball shipping difference for UPS
« on: January 31, 2007, 10:51:15 AM »
This is not a big deal but I thought I'd put the infrormation out there because it surprised me.

I was checking the difference in shipping a 15 lb ball from NJ to FLorida between UPS and FEDEX. UPS was very little more and their store is closer to me.

So the UPS price was $11.50; then I did the online processing and the final figure became $13.50! Hunh? Turned out the difference was between commercial and residential delivery - $2 extra for residential.

I knew it always was more; I thought it was less than that, though. Got to be more careful doing my estimates next time ....
