Oh shipping...

I learned a few things today while trying to ship a very awkward oversized package for work...

1) FedEx doesn't really have much interest in making boxes that fit oversized packages...they'd rather just make copies and stare at you awkwardly. Don't dare ask for a creative solution, they DO NOT create boxes out of other boxes.

2) U Store It is a bit more creative and has a good grasp on the phrase, "time is money"

3) UPS is your 1 stop shipping wonderland!!! You bring in that oddly shaped extremely large chaos, they find a solution...remind you that shipping said package is not economical and then make it happen!!!! And then happily give you a discount, because well, it is oversized and a bit ridiculous. Oh and the added bonus, a small puppy was in the store for licks and nibbles!

Thumbs up UPS, thumbs down FedEx
