Since I ship UPS about every week I can tell you they not only didn't they drop their increases in prices after oil shot up in 2008, but they are still tacking on not only a fuel surcharge, but a residential pick up surcharge, and residential delivery surcharge. And they raised their rates in December 4 percent for domestic shipping even though costs have gone down. This is what happens when a corp gets on the stock market and doesn't have much competition. And don't even try and collect on their insurance. It's almost impossible if you packed the box yourself.
