You know I have friend that's South African.  When ever I refer to him as
Australian, he gets insulted for some reason. :-)

Well, at least Australians spell "colour" and "plough"
correctly. Not any of this "color" and "plow" rubbish.
And the way you say "asthma", you should spell it
"azma".

2001-04-05 Thread Tanya & Russell Mayer

I just wanted to let you all know that I just reread my last post on this
topic (which is below) and have the following explanation to make.  I am NOT
illiterate, I CAN spell, and I CAN type, just not that well at four in the
morning (when I wrote this).  It was lucky in fact, that I can touch type,
cause I couldn't see a thing through my extremely heavy eyelids and bleary
eyes (obviously, judging by the amount of errors I made in that post!).

So I am sorry, if any of you once thought that I was actually quite literate
and then were grossly disappointed after reading this:

"Well to let you all know, guess what happened to me today??? I received in
the mail today, from an anonymous sender, a almost new PZ-20 with Sigma
35-70 zoom, still in original packaging!!  I tell ya, I thought all my
Christmases had come at once! There was a small typed note inside that said
"For you to enjoy, you deserveit" (SHOULD BE A SPACE IN THERE), and was
signed "An Admirer".  I didn't know whether to be worried that I may have
had a stalker or just be extremely thankful to whoever my "benefactor"
was!!!  I wanted to tell my hubby about it as I was so excited but chose not
to as he worries insesintly (SIC!) about me, owing (TO THE FACT) that he
works so far away and is only home for a few days out of the month.  As it
turns outthough, (NEEDS A SPACE) it was from my sneaky husband, who ordered
it out of one of my PhotoTrader magazines he had snuck out to workwith  (YET
ANOTHER SPACE NEEDED) him!!  Gotta love him forthinking(HOHUM, ANOTHER
SPACE).

ETC, ETC, BLAH, BLAH, you all get the idea...

fairy.

"Tanya,

I think it's a typo...$80 vs $8.

Nothing short of 20 pounds in weight should cost $80 to ship to you.  We
have a US Postal site with a rate calculator.

WWW.USPS.COM

Tell Goodwill you want them to send it Global Priority Mail for $9.00."

Bob, it was no typo!  They have an account with UPS (United Parcel Service)
where they come and pick the goods up for delivery and this is what they
quoted them, I even went onto their website (www.ups.com) and did the
calculations myself.  The figure I got was actually US$87!

I asked if they would please send it via USPS (US Postal Service), but they
said that they would only do this if I agreed to pay an extra US$20 because
they would have to take it to the post office themselves, so the total came
to $3 packaging, +  $18 postage, + $2 insurance + $20 taking it to the post
office charge = Grand Total of $ 43!!! I think that this is also
unreasonable, and plus it blows out my budget.

I mean really, 20 bucks just to take the thing to the post office?!? Call me
petty here, but I am not paying that!

Anybody have any other suggestions?!?

Tanya
