The UPS Store gave me a lesson in shipping one ugly BearClaw today. I went out in the garage and pulled one ugly bearclaw from the shelf that was already wrapped with bubble wrap. Unable to find a suitable box I headed to The UPS Store for packaging and shipping. I handed one ugly bearclaw to the salesperson and stated I need this shipped. Off she went for a box. She returned with one ugly bearclaw in a box that would fit five ugly bearclaws. At this point I had a very bad feeling.
24x16x12 box $5.71
Packing nuts to take up all the extra space in the too big of a box $2.00
Shipping UPS Ground to OK $18.84 (She measured the box with a tape measure)
Tax $0.61
Total 27.16
This 45 year old man was just schooled by a 19 year old girl on shipping one ugly bearclaw!!
I'm thinking about now that maybe that bearclaw wasn't that ugly. No, F**K that bearclaw, it was worth 5 bucks to get that ugly thing out of my garage!!!
Lonzol, package is in the mail. I hope your bearclaw project is a success!! God knows you can't make it any uglier. Glad to help out a fellow R3 rider.
