Speaking of UPS/USPS - since UPS took over MailBoxes Plus (IIRC) all the
stores are now UPS outlets - making taking stuff to UPS much easier - with
the added benefit of offering USPS shipping and services. Now, when I have
a box too large for my mailbox (for pickup) I leave it at the UPS Store and
it gets taken from there by USPS.
Once I install my new biga$$ mailbox installed I;ll be able to put my
outgoing boxes in the mailbox and my mailman will take it. ;-) Kaleb's
right about the convienence of buying postage from USPS.com - makes it
*much* easier.
Sincerely,

Subject: Re: [MBZ] UPS vs Fedex
I never go to the PO to ship things, you can do it from USPS.com, print
the labels, and schedule a pickup. I use stamps.com though, I can print
USPS and fedex labels with that software, I schedule the pickup and the
mailman gets them off my front porch.

I've given up on both and ship through the post office these days.
I find the post office is cheaper for most items, but UPS becomes
cheaper if the item is very heavy. Also, UPS has real package tracking
and doesn't charge extra for it, whereas the Post Office charges extra
and can only tell you whether or not the carrier claims it was
delivered. The biggest thing for me is the convenience factor, though.
Going to the post office means spending 15 minutes waiting in line,
sometimes more if it's within a month or so of Christmas. With UPS I
can be done in under five minutes. The Post Office is also only open
until five, requiring me to sacrifice my lunch hour, while UPS is open
late.
