Yes.
FedEx is around the corner from my house, and it's actually anywhere from 30-50% cheaper postage to take a package
there and drop it off than it is for me to use a PakMail type of place (by comparison). The market up is nuts!
On top of that, half the time the PakMail/or alike places get the shipping details wrong.
Especially on international shipments. Half the time I would get a call the next day telling me to come to the main FedEx office, and refill out something or whatever.
