| UPS was crying about high fuel prices and demanded a surcharge for their service? Now that fuel prices are the lowest they have been in years why hasn't the surchage been dropped?? I just ordered two lpks from Surplus Ammo which totaled 8 oz. and the shipping was 12 bucks!!! Seems just a little outragous to me Anything you can throw in a small USP box is around $5.00. Your thoughts--- |

Your thoughts--- Because we have nice tight buttholes they can rape. All my ammo orders in the last 2 weeks got the surcharge. Also, my airline tickets are no cheaper. |

The market can bear the increase without affecting sales so the increase stays.
Same with gasoline (and any other product/service "temporary price increase"). Oil prices could drop to the days of $1.50/gallon gas, but the $1.50 gallon will never come back. There's no reason to sell gas that cheap anymore when people look at $2.49/gallon as "cheap". Remember the outrage at $1.50/gallon? Then the $2.00/gallon outrage followed almost immediately by the $3.00/gallon outrage. If a company suddenly finds that they product/service can be priced much higher without a noticeable drop in sales, that's the new price. It's business. |
