Learning to Read

http://www.ecommercebytes.com/C/letters/blog.pl?/pl/2014/8/1409084001.html
I just read the above article, in which a seller complains about a costly side effect of FedEx labels. If you're able to read, then when printing the label, you can check the box that says "this is a residential address"  under the buyer's name and address before you print and you'll be charged the correct amount right when you print it out.

I don't drink any eBay kool-aid. I am not on their side. It's run by a bunch of silver spoon, suit and tie, borderline evil people. Their software is run by some baboons and chimps with iPhone5s, lol.  All their CS reps are Peggys in far east countries reading scripts. I know who I am dealing with. The light is on but nobody's home except when a small seller "fucks up" then the MC999 party's over. But be real. There's no conspiracy here in this particular case. Be smart. Read about things before you spend money on them.

I still use FedEx as an option on very large or heavy packages because even with the extra "residential address" charge, it's cheaper than the USPS for my stuff going to the west coast. Though I recently read that they are charging for "dimensional weight" which may change that.
