I saw that the Pak Mail in Steiner Ranch opened. I think the Grand Opening was today. It is nice to have a place to send a package real quick instead of driving all the way to the Lakeway Post Office. Visit it and support this new Steiner business.

Do people really pay their prices for the convenience? I usually use USPS Click N Ship to mail a package, but today I was in a hurry. I was mailing a gift (a baby outfit – didn’t weigh much!) in a Flat Rate Priority envelope – usually $4.85. I thought – how much more could it be…a buck or two? They wanted $13.00! I’m wondering if people really know how much more they’re paying for the convenience.

It is crazy, I agree! I have been in there twice both times I have seen people turn away and drive out. I also thought they were a little rude but that is just me. I really like places like cups and cones, fions and even the dry cleaners that go out of their way to greet you and make you feel welcome.

I priced something at Fedex.com and it was about $40. Then I called Pakmail and it was almost double which is not worth the convenience.

Pak Mail sucks. I knew it was a little pricey, but that’s an understatement to say the least. I went to have a package shipped there Priority Mail. They told me it would be $20.38 and would not get there by Christmas. I knew they were full of it and braved the Post Office instead. It was $10.07 and they said it would get there on the 23rd.
They are robbing people blind. They’re the only place in Steiner that I hope goes out of business.

funny… I just read this article today: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/21/nyregion/21ups.html

Interesting article; thanks for posting. You know, I have absolutely no problem paying a little more for the convenience, but 100% mark-up is just obscene. They mark up UPS and FedEx prices as well, so it’s not just USPS packages.
And I have a feeling that they told me it “probably” wouldn’t get there before Christmas to try to get me to buy a more expensive, 2-day service.
