FedEx has just earned my "Monkey Company" award: It seems that if you walk into one of their stores, they won't let you ship a package by ground internationally. They'll do it by air, but if you want to do it by ground, you have to get a FedEx account, go to their website, pay online, print off the shipping label at home, and then bring it into the store. Then they'll ship it. Makes no sense to me.

I just got off the phone with UPS and they said they were fine with taking international ground shipments from walk-in customers. Looks like FedEx just lost some business... which makes me sad, since I'm a shareholder :-(
