yeah, Fedex is almost always cheaper than UPS within usa. And using
Fedex is cheaper than over-baggage fees (within the US).
I'm flying internationally though... germany to san francisco, and ups/
fedex charge a fortune. I'm already shipping two boxes with the
Deutsche Post by surface mail (which is cheaper than the over-baggage
fees with United). I just don't have enough extra luggage to justify
mailing a third box, which is why i want to cram it into my carry-on
luggage.
So what happens when they don't check the size of my carry-on at the
check-in desk, but they do check at the boarding gate, and see that
the bag is too big? will they force me to pay for checked luggage?
what can they do at the gate?
