Bumblefucked by FedEx Kinko’s, twice

As previously mentioned, the Bumblefucked household is selling hella stuff on eBay. Some of that stuff are some posters. Posters have to be mailed in poster tubes.

It is hella hard to find poster mailing tubes.

I went to Wal-Mart. No mailing tubes.

I went to CVS. No mailing tubes.

I went to Target. No mailing tubes.

I went to FedEx Kinko’s to drop off a FedEx package and noticed mailing tubes. Score! I needed the smaller tubes. The price tag above the tubed clearly read $1.99. They ring up $2.49, but I am already having issues with the people that work their to decide it is not worth the dollar to deal with them.

Fast-forward to yesterday. I am in need of an additional mailing tube. I patronize a different FedEx Kinko’s location. This one has a nice sign that lists all of the mailing tubes by size with their price next to them. Guess what? The cost is listed as $1.99 here as well.  I get to the register and it rings up $2.49 again. But again I have other needs in the store and decide it is best to not have a fight over the price.

So, I got bumblefucked on the price of mailing tubes at FedEx Kinko’s twice at two different locations. That makes me think that this is not an isolated incident. Instead, it appears to be company wide SOP. I can’t wait to travel to another state and see if the same thing happens. I have no need for additional mailing tubes but I am really curious about the price at other locations.

Hi, I suppose you’re still up to the eyeballs in packing/unpacking: I find here in the U.K that bookshops usually have more spare packing stuff than they know what to do with, especially the independent local ones. But I understand the time pressures on you only too well. Best wishes for the move and unpacking.
