My husband mailed a couple of packages for Christmas through this company. Each weighed no more than 8 pounds and had destinations in NC and TN. Imagine my shock when he called to say that the shipping cost alone was $158 going by UPS. We didn't even try to get them there by Christmas. That would have cost about $100 more! Since he selected UPS as the shipper, I looked up what those packages would have cost at UPS. We would have paid about 40% less.

I was told by Mailboxes Etc. that UPS's website is unrealiable. However, I had entered not just the weight but also the sizes of our packges. When I pointed that out, the lady said, that would have been what they charge at a UPS location. Ah!! Live and learn!

She said they don't tack on anything extra to ship through them(something about UPS pays them, not the client), but I then have to wonder why the difference in price just to ship. I expect them to make money, but that's a pretty heavy mark-up! Not happy!

I've used Inside the Box since I moved here six years ago. I've found the service to be exceptional and the prices affordable. I recommend them highly.

I had an emergency copy job that I need done for a presentation in the morning. I had taken it to one of those big box store but at 6:15 p.m. they called and said their printers were down.I called Mail Boxes Etc. and the lovely young woman stayed open an extra 1/2 hour to get my job done. and it was cheaper to boot!
