I just received a message from the seller, he took the vacuum to the UPS store, and guess what? They want $52 damn bucks for shipping alone. Are ya freaking kidding me?! Really, UPS? You suck big time. The seller said he will refund my account in full, and is going to let me know when he does that. I really appreciate the he was honest and notified me of UPS's absolute stupidity. Shipping rates are ridiculous. So much for the Sani-Way. Oh, well, c'est la vie. I'll look elsewhere, and hopefully the next one I find won't cost a royalty to ship!
Wow! Did he empty the bag first!? That thing just must've been filled with cement, my Swivel-Top above, in a nice, big, bubble-wrapped and package peanut box, was only $25 to ship!
