Shipping Charges

[classiccues]

I have never had a problem with UPS. USPS constantly reroutes, and screws up the destination. To be honest, the issue with USPS is the distribution centers 98% of the time. As far as relative costs, 4x4 boxes are cheaper than the triangles or round tubes. Use pirate ship for UPS mailings, always cheaper. You can use a 4" diameter round tube and put it into a 4x4 square for extra protection. USPS was charging extra for the package length and that was one reason I stopped using them.

When I paid from my UPS account I found them constantly adding charges... 4x4 boxes were getting bumped to 5x5 and weights being adjusted. I haven't had that issue since Pirate ship.

pirate ship is best for prices thanks ideologist for that tip
ship cues for under 20 now

the real problem i have no matter if i use usps or ups
pretty much half of the cues ive sent in the last 4 months dont get any update scans
and get lost and have the buyers unhappy/worried. which is understandable
one even opened a paypal claim against me for it
but they all arrive at some point, just some much later than they should have

i dont have 100 percent itrader rating on azb just by coincidence

shipping cues from houston has gone to shit this year

I used the tubes all the time. 17-22 shipped. Never heard of that crap he's talking bout.

I and HelpMeScrubs0013 are right. Tubes shipped by UPS costs between $17 and $26.

If it was not a tube, I could have shipped it for $13 with UPS. If it was a tube it was $26 NC to SD with UPS. Yours is between $17 and $22. Whether I am right 100% or you are right, it sure as hell is not $13 to ship a tube with UPS.

eBay and UPS did two things that would not happen off-line: i) I agreed to have it shipped for $13 and 10 days later they re-price its and charge me $26; ii) 3 days later, eBay removed $13 from my banking account (I had no credit in my account then at eBay).

That sounds like a problem with UPS.
