I sent something to her which weighed about 8 or 10 pounds, and the idiot postal worker only charged me $20, which was flat shipment rate. I think it should have been somewhere closer to $80, and thank gawd she was a moron.

this wasn't even a pound, though! it was a flash drive. a flash drive. i was floored. and he had the nerve to say "but we provide tracking," as if that was worth the $88 dollars i saved sending it through the usps. craziness, rae. we have to move her to the states before we go broke.

By the by, Bear thinks I was nuts when I told her I needed a last name. I ended up making up a last name, which made it harder for her to get the package, but the customs information form looks suspicious if you don't know who you're sending it to. She doesn't have that problem in Australia, apparently.

...

Do they track your money or your package? -snerk-

Pffft!

I get mail from Nkuvu the Wonder Tortoise. Customs can't be all that strict over there.

Holy Hannah.. -blink- That is a frelling lot of money for something so small!

Though the laugh from 'some tasmanian aboriginal...thing...' was worth every hypothetical penny!

i thought about it for a split second, because i didn't want to disappoint, but then i realized i'd need to eat at some point this month, so...

the guy at the post office was cooler, and told me what to write on the customs form so it would get there with less hassle.

ps: it'll be there (hopefully) in 4-7 days.
