You think UPS sucks, Fed-Ex has turned to crap with their new "Rules" for shipping electronics. If it is not in the factory box, max. insurance is $100.00 If it is in the factory box, maybe, and only after the 3rd. degree, $500.00 max. insurance allowable. At least UPS will allow me to buy proper insurance.
UPS is in bed with the devil,
I sold my speakers recently and tried to ship them UPS, which has a maximum weight of 150 pounds. Since they came to me on another carrier who also has a 150 lb maximum, I figured I was good to go and they weighed about 150 pounds each.
I was quoted about $100 each on their website but it wouldn't allow me to actually schedule the shipment for some reason even though I have an account. I had to schedule it via the phone, so they charged me an extra $4 each for using a UPS operator in spite of the fact that the website wouldn't allow me to schedule it.
They picked them up but brought them back 5 days later because they were over weight by 16 pounds. They then sent me a bill for $10 for additional paperwork.
I got another bill tonoght for $50 for an excess weight charge.
They picked them up, drove them to the other side of town, held them for 5 days, brought them back, and charged me $270 to do so when the charge across the country was less than $200.
Yea, I know, it was my fault for being overweight, but this is ridiculous. UPS sucks!
