For what it’s worth the express service level includes brokerage fees, this is listed on their site but is well hidden. It is often significantly cheaper to pay for express and avoid these idiotic fees. Not defending them but at least UPS tells you up front what the costs are unlike FedEx who just sends you a surprise bill in the mail weeks to months later.

I hate all the major carriers.

You’re not alone but it’s definitely not a common side effect from what I’ve been told. Allergy medication gives me terrible anxiety that sometimes escalates into panic attacks. For me I can take it during the day and feel jittery/weird but manageable, then it feels like it wears off but later while I’m sleeping it escalates and I wake up in the middle of a full blown panic attack. Not fun at all.

I have talked to my doctor about it and their opinion was that it’s not a documented side effect but everybody is different and so I should just avoid taking them. That answer sucks for me because I’m allergic to basically everything outside.
