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---

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.
