FED EX BLOWWWWWWWWWZ!!!
Talk about a waste of time...I have a couple of shocks I wanna ship to a guy in Saskatchewan, Canada. The guy says he has to pay too much of a tax if I use UPS, so I figure I'll use Fed Ex. I drive 10 miles out to the Fed Ex joint, and tell 'em I want to ship 'em as cheep as possible. Well, first up to piss me off: the azzclown says you can't do ground shipping @ the Fed Ex depot, you have to do it on line. WTF? Well, I want to ge this done, so I ask the guy what my other options are. He says "Air or Priority." Well, again, I ain't in a hurry, so I fill out the paperwork for air. Then the idiot tells me I have to fill out another form as well. Now, having to write "Saskatchewan" 80 times is no fun, but I finish it up. Then comes the bombshell: the friggin' fat azz Horatio Sanz looking jabronie clerk tells me that they can't do "Air" on the weekends, only "Priority." So, all the f'n paperwork I just filled out is void. And then he has the big brass ballz to tell me that shipping would be 129 bux. Well, I went f'n ape chit! I told the incompetant azzclown "thanks for wasting my time," and also pointed out that I was trying to ship a couple of shocks, NOT a whole dayum car! Then I wadded up the paperwork, bounced it off the azzclown's big azz chestbelly, and walked out. Now I gotta wait until Monday to see waht kinda rape USPS wants to ship 'em. If it's gonna be another "bring yer first born in" I'm just gonna give the guy his bux back and keep the shocks.

USPS usually isn't that bad with the Priority flat-rate fee.

Holy ****, FedEx said the same thing for my replacement headlights. Supposed to come June 14, then delivery estimate disappeared and it still says in transit from Reno...wtf? Did you buy from go-part.com? lol
Mine still hasn't changed...I'm getting annoyed. But this gives me hope.

I ended up using USPS back then, and it was like 24 bones to ship the shocks. And the clerk was a hottie with a nice personality.
