If I go to a FedEx store I routinely get prices of $30 - $50 to send an overnight envelope, if I go to my corporate mailroom it’s $10-15 for the same shipment… my point being there are is a broad range of pricing regimes based on volume etc.
- exmadscientist 4y agoIt can get really broad, too. A former coworker who used to work for a brand you've probably heard of (if you're American) whose core business model involved/involves a ton of mostly-overnight shipping told me once that he could send a heavy package literally from one corner of the country to another for $LOTS on his own dime, $90 for 5-day ground on the company's dime, or... $8 for early overnight. Eight bucks! I don't think that even paid for the jet fuel. Guess which he chose? Shipping prices are weird.
