I have a UPS Ground prepaid label to return the cell phone that I’m trading. They told me it would be $10-12 to schedule a driver pickup, else I can take it to a dropoff location. When did this start? Boo, UPS. Boooooo.
Edit: To be completely fair, it may be that the destination decided not to pay extra for driver pickups rather than this being some new UPS thing. I don’t know the inner workings.
Not intended to defend the above commenter, but it’s worth noting that the Postal Service is no longer bound to the pre-funding requirement (thanks Dark Brandon!)
