Catch me if you can
The UPS stores are a total joke. Never use them for anything other than a drop-off point for a package you've already billed/boxed/labeled yourself. Go to UPS.com and open up an account. It is a total pain in the ass to do it and get setup with everything ( I found the website absolutely confusing and it took me like 6 hours to get everything setup correctly) but you'll save soooooooooo much money by using an account and dealing direct. Once you've done that you can even schedule a pickup FROM YOU HOUSE and a UPS guy will come by and get the package from you. It costs a few bucks (Literally, the last 2 I sent out had a $3 pickup fee, it costs me more than that to drive to town) but its extremely worth it.

how are you trying to ship the motor?? search on here on "best way to ship a motor" Put it in a tub and zip tie it shut.
Go to UPS.com
Hover on Shipping tab, then click on "Detail time and cost"
Section 1 check detail time and cost
Section 2 fill out the where and to
Section 3 What are you shipping (select "your packaging--enter you dimensions and weight) if you put a declared value you pirce goes up
make sure all your fields are filled in and click next
I did a mock up shipment fro PA to Las vegas @ 95 LBS (dimensions were 18X16X16) and it was $67.93. The dimensions can change the cost as well
If you want send me the zip to and from and the box size and I'll check it out for you.

i like how ups leaves things on my porch or just sitting under my carport, if no one answers the door. they've left a +$1000 mt. bike there just a few steps from the sidewalk. now how are they getting away with delivering something that is to be signed for without me signing for it? i've called about it, but it still happens.
snail mail for me.

Teaching quads a lesson
USPS has done me well, particularly the time I was selling stuff on here to users of 3ww... always managed to get them good prices, even though I was up in the boondocks of Alaska and shipping prices are insane there. Plus, flat-rate boxes are great
Maybe I'm just a sucker for nostalgia, my dad worked for the USPS for a long time. We even got him a belt buckle with the logo... heh.
Just wanted to ramble, sorry Lonesome for spammin' up the thread.
I'm back in the USSR...
