Hmmm, fuel is down but not shipping charge
I was wondering why if my rates were raised to offset increased fuel costs last year, then why, now that fuel is less than half what it was then, am I still paying the increased rate?
Odd what you don't think about, isn't it?
I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

Ha! Because you're talking about greedy businesses.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, I mean, they do like their money. But it does kinda seem unfair.. doesn't it?

Why would they cost themselves money if they didn’t have to?

Well if enough people stop buying from them or using there services because of high costs they stand to lose even more in the long run.Why pay a higher price when you can go elsewhere.

They raised prices when the fuel went up...but now the fuel is 1/2 of what it was...but the price stayed at the inflated price....

Re: Hmmm, fuel is down but not shipping charge
It's kinda like property taxes. Due to the current real estate market my house is now worth quite a bit less than it was when I bought it two years ago, but somehow I am still paying the same amount of property tax. Gotta love it.

Last year it was fuel, this year it will all be blamed on the economy.
