tvad, i agree, my dealing with fedex have been unpleasant as well. i can't stand fedex for different reasons. i will gladly pay a couple bucks more for UPS.
also what i usually do is print out the label at home, and i just give it to a UPS driver. if you're in a major city Brown trucks are everywhere. if for some reason i can't give it to one, i just drop it off at one of the stores.
one thing about the stores. they always try to make extra money off you. they shake it, to see if they can add filler, or tell me "we won't ship in that box cause it says it's a denon 2200 dvd player", what a crock! i asked why and they said cause someone could steal it knowing what's inside, how do you know that's what's inside? anyway.....
