Mail Boxes Etc. now to be called the UPS Store

Theo, you're close. In actuality, UPS stands for Umpteen Pieces and Slivers.

That's kind of a shame, I dealt with Mail Boxes a few time and it may have been expensive they were GREAT, a real shame :( Maybe UPS will be able to keep it up- though I am skeptic.

hello,it seems to me that mail box etc(now ups store) nothing really related with UPS,, they charge lower price on ups shipping, which put the sender to ship package by ups, however, the price etc.. is not same as what you can ship from ups .....uhmm???

You don't get a "tracking number" at the UPS Store. You get a customer number If I remember right. I don't think you can check it online. you have to call the store.

The insurance issue SHOULD (and I think is) be no problem; they charge an arm and a leg to pack, double the UPS counter rate for the shipping, and $1/$100 for insurance. Recently charged over $90 to double box and ship a DVD player that UPS web site rate was about $30.00!!!!
