I am an American citizen; I walk on American soil;
I carry a blue, United States of America passport.
I have a mailbox at the end of my driveway and my
mail is delivered by a United States Postal Service
deliveryman. I live in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
and have a zip code like all other American areas.
So why do Stateside vendors always rip me off for
"foreign country - special handling fees"?
A Stateside vendor wanted $49.00 "special handling"
to send me an ignition condenser can. $49.00 shipping!!
Even some folks here on the forum believe it costs a
fortune to send anything here. It doesn't.
A very kind BCF member bought the condenser I needed
and shipped it to me. It arrived today via U.S.P.S.
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #990000">It cost #1.34 to ship. NOT $49 danged dollars!!!!</span></span>
So it costs vendors and additional $48.66 to type 123456
instead of 654321 ??
Many, many thanks Phil!!!
It is a pleasure to know an honest man.
I owe you a big one. Tomorrow I'll repair my car.
