How much you pay for shipping?

Steamed anything sucks. :yesnod:

I prefer my goose smoked or deep fried in bacon grease; more flavor. :thumbsup:
 
Yeah, 'bout the only thing I'll eat steamed is vegetables.

But even so - gotta have Tony's or Slap Ya Mama handy!

Those suck too, steamed or not. Had a chic who's cooking tasted about as good. It shoudn't have come as a surprise. One of her mom's "specialties" was blogna and red gravy. It was considered a delicacy in their house..... :rolleyes: :pukeface:


..and she was from NEW ORLEANS !!! How lame can you get?
 
Now you know 1 reason why the
Shipping rates are so high.
 
Does it seem like you're getting more stuff? In the shipping dept.,when you pay peanuts,you get monkeys. In my tool business,I love it when they ship test equipment in the same box with a shop vise. Crunch! By the way,what co has these Einsteins working for them. I KNOW WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO ASK,BUT???????? Pretty please?

Must say in fairness to the shipper, they did protect it with a big air filled balloon dealy.
Still a lot of box for this.
It came Priority mail and not a flat rate box . I know there are smaller ones
Since they have an account with USPS then there is no amount on the box for actual shipping cost.
 
I absolutely hate one of the big three because of their peanuts....

Looks like A-N fittings. Earl's are usually fake. My brother-in-law in Oregon buys the real deal for about a dime a pop, military surplus, new.

Cannot tell you that. That is what his business is. He buys them cheap, I didn't say that he sells them cheap.

Unless it's a really big box (that one doesn't look like it falls into that size category) the cost will end up based on weight.

Thats what I figured. I've been seein' that stuff come up too. :wink:
 
USPS charges by weight and size. That's why it measures everything.
Unless you use the prepaid boxes.

But I'm not complaining of the cost. It could have been the same with a smaller box for all I care.
It is just a frickin waste
