Your absolutely correct.they claim the fee covers the cost to train employees how to properly handle these types of materials and special labeling. bottom line is that is pure BS, they choose to handle these products and the cost should be absorbed by them. they hide from this fact and blame it on the fed for requiring the training and labeling..sit and think about $20.00 per shipment by millions upon millions of shipments per year.( sticking it to us) sorry but this kind of thing just pisses me off. it's the type of thing the banks do to generate huge profits...Ray
