Hey, here's a new one (at least to me):
I shipped some NOS rims domestically via Priority Mail today. They usually cost about $12 to send. Today, I was charged an additional $8.75 "your box is bigger than 84 inches in girth plus length, but it's under 14 pounds, so we're gonna ding you" surcharge. This is the first time I've encountered this one! They're getting creative....
Should I switch to another carrier for rims, wheels and framesets that can be packed to under 112" but are 84" or greater?
