You dont have to pay extra to drop things off at the ups store, formerly
known as mail boxes etc. When I used to use UPS, I have an account and
printed the lables at home, then just walked in to the UPS store and
dropped my boxes off, no charge for that. If they do the printing of
the lable for you, its more expensive I think. The bad thing about UPS
though is their rates are WAY more expensive, and they charge $2 PER
package to pick them up at your location. With fedex, I just pay a
certain amount per week no matter how many packages I ship. With DHL,
some things are cheaper to go with them for larger items. But generally
fedex is usually WAY cheaper.

I ship FedEx Ground from my office for free. I walk it up a block to the
local UPS pickup spot and get charged a surcharge for giving them my
business.

I have given up on UPS unless there is no other way. I recently shipped
two
Porsche wheels by Fedex Ground in two wheel boxes taped together to LA
from
Seattle. I dropped the package at Kinkos at 2pm on a Tuesday and the box
was in
LA Friday morning. Thirty-eight pounds for seventeen bucks plus three more
for
$1000 worth of insurance.
Return by UPS was 35 bucks.
