I went to finally mail the baby blanket to my friend today, the one I crocheted. I managed to fit it into a gallon zip lock back and then put it in a bubble envelope. The thing weighs maybe a pound, maybe two but I doubt it. My Grandma said there was a UPS store near where we had lunch so we took it over there. It was going to cost $11 just for regular mail! He said they mark up the cost...that UPS might be cheaper but it wasn't. So I took it to the postal station and it was $7. The UPS store marked it up $4!!!

The UPS store took over all the Mailboxes Etc stores. I miss those stores. You could pick mail, UPS or FEDEX and they didn't mark stuff up. It was all in one nice place. I don't know why this aggravated me so much.....a $4 mark up!!!! So I just wanted to share....watch where you mail stuff! I'm sure most of the staff don't tell customers they mark up!!!
