people are beat… i hate how everyone finds a small way to piss me off daily.
anyway… latest bullshit deals with shipping.
i mean, i know that shipping larger shit sucks… obviously lifitng heavy shit and moving it around if a pain in the ass… thus high ass shipping charges.
now… why exactly is something that has the dimensions of something large, yet is insanely light, directly associated with a weight and the price of that weight, i.e. fucking me over.
situation: order a valence from my little mailbox / railroad tie get together… valence weighs all of 5 lbs… it’s about 4 feet by 4 inches… it costs $99.86 to ship, because it’s the equivalent to a 75lbs package. …
someone explain the logic to this… i mean, it’s not like it’s based on truck space, it’s based on weight, so how does something that’s 4’ x 4" equate to something 75lbs?
and it’s not like i’m asking some dude to toss this in the back of his truck… we’re using a ‘shipping service’… you know, the entire company is based on shipping shit… so i don’t see why there would be a problem, ‘finding room on the truck’. i just don’t believe that shipping a transmission and a front valence equal eachother…
fucking assholes.
