Was shipping a box. Online calculations said $26, paid $26 and printed a label. Went to store to ship it, but clerk said the box was insufficient and probably wouldn't qualify for claims, should anything happen (it's the original iBook G4 box. A pretty decent one, if you ask me.)

So I let them pack my box into another box. Looks like a 24x18x6. o.O Except the total came down to $54, which I didn't notice until after I stepped out of the store. $10 for "PCTFR 24X18X6", $4.25 "24X18X6 SERV FEE", $36.82 for the actual shipping!?, and $1.6 for "LARGE BUBBLES QTY 2".

.........I dunno. Dear gods I hope I didn't get ripped off. That would be very, VERY annoying. Especially since shipping was quoted to take up to 10 days, and by then, I'll be back in Illinois.
