I sold a 4lb household item online and need to ship the item to a buyer in another state. Due to the pandemic, I don't want to go to a UPS store to drop off the package.
In the past, I usually have my buyers purchase a USPS shipping label, and I do the USPS schedule-a-pickup option (where USPS comes and picks up my package straight from my front door). However, this time I I accidentally had the buyer purchase a UPS shipping label instead of a USPS shipping label.
My question is: Does UPS charge a fee for scheduling a pick-up from my home? I am looking at the "UPS On-Call Pickup" option, and the website information is unclear. If UPS does charge a fee, how much is it? And does the fee get charged to the shipper (me) or to the receiver (buyer)?
How does the UPS heavy package pick-up fee work?
Does UPS charge $6.99 to change to in store pick up and then additional $5 at the time of pick up?
Are they now charging a fee for UPS pickup?
UPS pickup free one day, requires charge the next?
Who sold it and who shipped it?

UPS' website says you can be charged an additional handling fee for it when you do pickup, but doesnt go into detail about how much that is, unless I missed something. Is there some kind of fixed number, or do drivers just make up a number or something? I dont wanna get jumpscared by a huge fee and eat the cost, I'd be better off trying to get it to a UPS store at that point. :[
I went to UPS today to pick up a package that I changed to in store pick up. I showed my ID and then the employee said it’s a $5 fee. He then asked if I could pay cash. I remembered seeing that there would be a $6.99 fee for pick up when I redirected the package online, but I couldn’t remember if I paid it already. I gave him the money and then later checked my bank statement to see that I had already paid the pick up fee. Now, I know it’s only $5, but I want to know if this was a legit charge or something this individual store is trying to tack on.
