Shipping. What a Racket.

I am in the process of planning our shipment of some items back to the US for our move. Apparently, they can be completely deceptive in their quotes and quote you one price with an asterisk on the end, and the asterisk says that there will be additional fees at the destination. Then you find out that the destination fees are nearly as much as the quote itself. And this was the company that was recommended to us by someone who used them.

Anyway, it's expensive, and I'm disappointed with their service before it has even begun. 

Luckily, Mike's work is covering some of our moving costs, but still. I'm annoyed on the principle of it.
