So I pack the fork into a box that formerly held a Profile carbon road fork, shove some wrapping paper and take it to the UPS store to find out how much to ship to zip code 92821. The kid tells me $14, regular ground, no insurance. Then another $10 for the shipping box, plus another $10 to re-pack.

Uhh ?.

The Profile box is all black and says on the side "Profile Carbon Fork" and the kid has decided that "somebody might see the label and steal the box". Quote un-quote. Thus he's decided it needs a new box and that costs, plus extra for the labor.

I then ask "Who besides UPS employees are going to be handling or seeing this box once I hand it over to you ? and are you telling me they might steal the box". To which he says "Yeah, that's what I mean".

I then tell him "If that's the case, I'll take it to FedEx or the Post Office".

The manager then steps in and says the box is fine.

So you want I should send ?, I assume no insurance as the fork has no value.

But I need your address and either you post on-line or PM me.

The box will have my address in it and you can send me $14 cash or a check.

Will that work ?

And if this is too much hassle that's OK as well.
