I would pay that in a heartbeat. Living in an apartment is a nightmare for receiving packages. I hate getting the missed package slip and then having to call and arrange for me to pick up the package at their facility 20 minutes away. I've had to wait 2 hours at the sorting facility for them to find my package before.

So to me, $3 seems like a steal when faced with all that.

When I was working in SF, people take off half a day to receive a package. Let's say an engineer's hourly value is $100, even a $10 fee is nothing.

Our apartment is awful for receiving packages... UPS and FedEx can't even get in the front gate. But I just get packages sent to work, so there's not a problem at all.
