UPS Overcharged on 10+ shipments in a row...

[Anonymous]

UPS has overcharged me by an average of 2x more than what Ebay tells me it costs to ship.   The best thing about this is I drop these off at a small hardware store in my town, and have them weigh and measure the packages too.  So I know each of these packages were the specific dimensions and weight that were entered on Ebay.

Ebay or UPS, whoever is wrong, is so bad at giving accurate shipping quotes, to the point that they were wrong 100% of the time on my last 11 packages.   Sometimes I nnoticed a package that is 8  pounds (2 bike tires) UPS marks as 18 pounds.   I believe this is criminal fraud and is stealing, intentionally adding on 10 pounds to make extra money should be investigated at the federal level, and people should be going to prison.

That's another great reality I have to accept now regarding selling on Ebay.  Ebay randomly makes up bogus shipping quotes, and then illegally charges you 2x more when it comes time to pay for the label.  

You know where that doesn't happen at?   Facebook marketplace.

Would it be cheaper to use USPS priority ? I think it would. Look at their rates.

I’m not sure about UPS but FedEx is very liberal in their measurements as they have an automated system which measures the outer margins of every package. Overhang, unsecured tape, bulging boxes, etc, anything that can distort the package an add extra dimension against the measurements will be applied.

@scorpz18  You need to open the details to see the breakdown.  On a PC it is to the right of the charge.

I did, that is where I got that little breakdown.  Hopefully the screenshot loads in

Well that certainly doesn't show the breakdown needed.   So will have to find out where that info got moved to.

@scorpz18  Waiting for ebay to us where they moved this information.

@scorpz18  Still waiting to hear from ebay, but in the mean time go to the label management page find the UPS label and under the Shipping Details/Cost column click on it.   See if that has more information.

The details are under this link.  Click on the shipping cost details and then click show more.  It gives a complete breakdown of everything you were charged.

@autopartspuller  Thanks for checking.  I only have USPS labels to look at and those only show total cost.   Hopefully the UPS labels have the complete breakdown needed.

This is all that I could see in shipping cost details >
