If the guy is taking them unboxed to the UPS store and tellling them to
box and ship, it sould easily cost $92. I told them that for an Eldo
solo seat once, and it came to nearly $60.

They charged like $8 for the damn box. Then another $8 or so for
peanuts, and then a bunch more for the labor. It's a total scam, in my
opinion.

 Depends on how big the bags and how heavy. But $92 does seem like to
much. Hell it was only $60 to send a frame that way! I bet he is
charging a handling fee also.

Hey all, Looking for wisdom from the wise. I just bought some luggage

Sounds like a lot but I have to ask. I can't imagine all the goods
that
get
around the US being that expensive. I know that UPS is a rip off
organization (from my experience and is my opinion) but is this what
it
costs to ship? Or is this another way to make money on Ebay?
