6" acrylic tubing on ebay cheap

my definition of UPS is, anal rapists
I dont touch them and if something shows up collect through them I refuse it, they are the reason small business go bankrupt, every couple weeks I seem to get random bills from UPS saying I owe them money and need to send payment right away, i phone them up, ask whats up, and they say it must be an error, I think they just try to see how many people pay for random bills.... these invoices are for hundreds of dollars US, if you have a problem with UPS, tell me about it, I like yelling at the regional manager, it relives my stress....

C'mon tell us how you really feel . . . don't hold back! your among friends here. It's a safe place. So I see for you the three letters that make up UPS is actually a four letter word for you!!

Based on my little experience with them, I can totally agree. When I used to do contract work with Microsoft they always FedEX'd everything to me (everything prepaid or on account) so my first (and only experience with UPS) is when I got that flippin little vial of rotifer cysts and was informed I had to pay an amount basically 3 times more than the value of what I spent, I almost had a heart attack

Certainly the next time I need a Pit Bull to do some barking at UPS for me, I'll be sure to email you.

Can anyone confirm that Economy Parcel Post is using the "postal service"

anytime "post" is used in a shipping term, it almost always refers to postal service

That's what I thought. Steve's reply in this thread confused me.

Gotta like people who call a spade a spade. I used to keep seahorses and was bringing live shrimp up from Las Vegas, the fellow I bought from was excellent to deal with, but the shipping, out of this world, plus I had to pick them up at the airport, plus, somehow (no one knows how) the brokers would open my box to verify the contents, and one of the two bags of shrimp ALWAYS dissapeared. When you're buying 200 shrimp and expecting to pay 50cents each and only 100 make it, all the sudden a buck a shrimp is to rich for me to be feeding seahorses.

The acrylic, I've seen super cheap stuff too, they call it 1/8th in thickness but you can bend it, pinch it etc, it's super thin and has faint lines alright but they are obvious. How much 6in do you want I can get you a price from a guy who says' he's got tons of it.

not realy.. the last 3 items I got that were sent by POST ended up showing up via UPS and hence were refused.

e-mail the seller and ask him what his econimal post is. In the us UPS ground is refured to as econimal as it is cheep unless you hit the border.

ya and the think was these were huge companies not little ones or priviat people.. the problem is that huge companies send there regular mail via curier and the mentaility is that that is post. the reason for this is UPS is so damn cheep when staying with in the US that when they send stacks of mail from one office to the other it is actualy cheeper than paying postage on each letter. Also the supply/delivery chain in the US is becomming based on a currier set up instead of mail so to them UPS is commen and cheep and why would anyone even concider the inefficient USPS system when you have UPS.
