One of my customers wanted 35 units overnight.
Each unit cost $100 extra for overnight.
The total cost for shipping was probably about $5000.!!!
I probably could have paid one of you guys to drive them to Wisconsin overnight for $1000.:biglaugh:
UPS makes uber money.
That is all.

yeah, UPS makes a BOATLOAD! If a package like that gets left behind though and doesnt make it ontime, shipping is free and they loose money. That happened before when I worked there. There was an overnight package that came down to my PD. I looked at it, and it said overnight to some middle-eastern country … guarentee that package didnt make it on time 😛

bah we do that all the time. The best was a customer needed the product over night to Illinois. It was only one skid that weigh’d around 275# and cost $2400.

Wisconsin? Sure, no problem, don’t even need a map… can make it from Buffalo to Milwaukee in just under 9 hours without a problem.
Done it at least once a year since I was 10 (With parents until I was 16); my mom still lives in Milwaukee.

^ for some reason, paint is considered a hazardous material. Maybe not hazardous to people, but to other packages. UPS is held liable for packages that are damaged in their care, even if it is not their fault.
