The Chinese try, but there is still a huge area of limbo that usually involves their choice of ocean going shippers. So when I bought what I hope is a better set of drivers, I bought through fleabay where I might stand a small chance of fixing a bad vendor. > > On Oct 9, 2010, at 5:53 PM, "homanndesigns.com" <support2009 at > > homanndesigns.com Change at to @> wrote: > > Dear xxxxxxx xxxxxx, > > > > Here is an update on your order #8416. > > > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > > =- > > > Detailed Invoice: > http://homanndesigns.com/store/index.php?main_page=account_history_info&; > order_id=8416 > > > Date Ordered: Friday 20 August, 2010 > > > > Comments concerning your order: > > > > The customer scammed the order by using the Paypal dispute system. > > > > Do not accept orders from this customer. > > > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > > =- > > > > If you have any questions, please contact our customer service > > department at serv...@yourstore.com. > > > > Sincerely, > > > > homanndesigns.com > > > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > > =- > > ======================================================================== > ======== > > > The thing that these Bozos don't understand is that after you've > processed the first thousand orders, a scammer like this stands out > like a beacon. > Absolutely. > So now I only send by registered airmail or Express Post International > as they are trackable but this adds to the cost. > > And now there is a $9.00 surcharge levied as the USA requires every > parcel over 1Kg to be X-rayed.

They do it to your pocket contents at the airport, using the economy of mass inspection. And is not, IMO, enhancing either country's safety. What they are really doing I suspect is looking for bricks of dope. IMO it should be legalized, but subject to a $50k bounty paid for every pusher blown away caught selling your 14 year old a 'starter' sample. We'd lose that sales channel right away, and at far less cost. All this 'interdiction' does is put law enforcement into the drug dealing business on the side. I know of one instance 30 years ago in Northern CA, where they cuffed 4 guys & collected 734 lbs of coke they had just cooked up, the DEA set bail so they'd run like hell, & when they grabbed the 2 locals again at a drunk check 2 years later, they had to let them go because the evidence room was empty. Draw your own conclusions as to where it went. Right out on the streets like a bad case of diarrhea. Some was used 'internally' of course. > So in the end, my international sales suffer as the price too the door > is uncompetitive.
