Second, I paid them $70 to forward next-day-air a critical item. They didn't release it to UPS for 4 days, and I received it after more than a week due to them releasing it after business hours on day 4. I asked them to refund the difference in cost between next-day air and priority mail, and they refused. Flat out. Rudely. So I've cancelled my account.
I have many more details to share about the experience I had with their service department, and I'd be happy to do so via PM. But please beware of

Hi there,
So did you pay for the shipment before it was released? Was it released within the time frame of actual business days? Meaning .... was the shipment put in on a Friday and then released after the weekend and maybe after a holiday? $70 for a next day air item seems steep. Was the shipment going overseas? If so, I doubt any item could get sent international in one day.
Be sure to post all the facts before bad mouthing a company that has an A rating at the Better Business Bureau. You look childish.
