Can I add some used brass to my half-eaten bologna sandwich offer?
Here's one that has me shaking my head in disbelief. I ordered two parts on Amazon on Saturday. One is available Amazon Prime, and the other one is coming from the UK for $4.99 shipping. They need to be combined to make a final product. Given the UK shipping of the one part, I was baited into picking UPS standard shipping (and not the free Prime 2-day shipping) since the UK package would certainly take longer than two days to cross the Atlantic via Royal Mail.
Long story short, guess what made it from Bristol, UK...through Germany...and is now on USA soil and cleared by Customs in Newark, NJ in under 24 hours? Yup, out for delivery by the end of day!
I can't believe that DHL would do an overnight international shipment for $4.99, or that they could bend the space-time continuum to get it here in just one day.
If there's any consolation, the third part of this jigsaw puzzle isn't due to arrive until Friday, so it isn't exactly like I need the other part today.....
