I call UPS and have them make a one time pickup. They
say that it costs
$5 extra but I've compared the cost of that and taking it to their drop off
counter and it's almost always cheaper to have them come get it. No idea
why unless there's some hidden charges involved in dropping it off.
The UPS ship rate is higher at the counter than it is for pick-up. It costs $4-5 more
to ship a 50 lb. package cross country from the counter than it does for a pick-up.
That about offsets the pick-up fee. Isn't as favorable for lighter packages,
obviously.
