Earlier today, I was sent a new Digital Video Recorder from Dish TV since my old one died. UPS drops of the package, I put the old DVR in the box, place the free mailing label on it, & then I notice the label is a Fed EX label. Does that make any sense? UPS drops it off, but I must send the DVR back thru Fed EX?

" it's free to SW, not to Dish. Nothing ships for free.) " True Mac. Just out of curiosity, I took the old DVR to a place for pickup without realizing that the location in question only picks up UPS packages. I had people at this location weigh the box just to see how much the postage would cost. $18.75. Yup, there's no such thing as a free lunch these days is there MAC. HA! HA!

Could have to do with inbound rates vs. outbound rates. Mac makes a good point....returns usually go to a totally different location/facility. There are some other odd reasons such as rates. Even though they are using each other...sometime with as many shipments returned, the FedEx rate may actually be free.....amazing how that can happen with multiple shipments/rating.
