Comments on: Pak-Mail is open http://steinerranchinfo.com/2007/09/pak-mail-is-open/ Your one stop for all things Steiner Ranch Mon, 06 Sep 2010 03:43:17 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Melissa http://steinerranchinfo.com/2007/09/pak-mail-is-open/comment-page-1/#comment-2873 Melissa Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 +0000 http://steinerranchinfo.com/2007/09/pak-mail-is-open/#comment-2873 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. Interesting article; thanks for posting.

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. Pak Mail sucks. I knew it was a little pricey, but that’s an understatement to say the least.

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

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. It is crazy, I agree!

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.
