The UPS Store

This UPS store is a hidden gem in Leland. Its located right by the Harris Teeter for those new to town as I am. The owner, Luther, is honest and a real businessmen as well as a caring human being. I was shipping a package to England and he explained to me that he would be more expensive and I could go to the Post office but he would be happy to box it up for me. I asked him if he could guarantee my package would arrive and he said yes (and with amazingly accurate tracking online!) Something the Post office cannot do shipping overseas FYI — take it from the girl who’s got about 5 packages floating around out there. My package arrived on time, in beautiful condition and I thank Luther and his store for that. From now on, no matter where I ship, I will go to this store and use Luther’s services. Plus — while you wait, you get the added bonus of looking at lovely candles and cards! how can you go wrong with that :)
Just for the pricing reference as I’m sure most would want to know — the box was about 2 feet wide, 1 ½ foot deep and the contents in it were quite heavy and the price was $ 200 to ship. at the postal office the pricing would have been 75 $. the Postal office will give you insurance but you can’t track it accurately. I have experienced this the hard way shipping to Norway — that package got returned twice, and the 3^rd time *each time I paid $ 40 to ship it yet again) it took 5 weeks to arrive and it arrived open and the contents empty. So in the end, I paid more than I would have and it took almost 3 months in all to ship a bottle of perfume and some various items to my colleague. Therefore, regarding the UPS store, I was and will remain to be more than willing to pay the extra money to know that the contents of the package will reach its intended audience — and in one piece.
