breaking my vow to say
OF COURSE I DID NOT SEND A FUCKING $600 PACKAGE TO SOUTH AMERICA WITHOUT A NAME
nor would i have sent it ANYWHERE ELSE without a name
one again i say:
the guy put A NAME IN THE FIRST LINE OF THE ADDRESS that he gave me
It happened to be the name of his district.
Unless you are familiar with the protocol of sending a package to argentina, you would have done the exact same thing.
FOR FUCKING INSTANCE:
"Thank you, please send my package to my address:
george lopez, 3433 i like fucking honeycombs plaza
buenos aires 7464, argentina
73782-46437"
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM im pretty sure that looks like an address, and the recipients name is george lopez.
so you wait a couple weeks, then you get an email from a guy who clearly has more testicles than brain cells. i dont need to get into the whys of that. you can take my fucking word for it or you can fuck off.
THE POINT OF THIS THREAD was to say, "hey, i used to send shit all over teh world, now im just doing USA, canada, UK. maybe you should consider doing the same, unless you wanna get fucked by some foreign customs office that is notoriously shady."
that's not just argentina but that is all of south and central america. ask around. i did. i have been. know what i found out?
the higher the $ designation/value declaration on the customs form, the less likely you are to get your shit back. FACT. ask around.
doesnt matter if you checked "return to sender" on the customs form, which is what i did. they will still keep that shit.
"gee, doesnt that fucking suck pigmaker?" yes it certainly does. and theres not a fucking thing i can do about it.
EXCEPT NEVER SEND TO ANOTHER SHADY ASS COUNTRY LIKE THAT AGAIN.
and if you dont think badgering someone who got fucked on $600 isnt trolling, what the fuck is trolling to you?
if you dont think saying "oh so you sold him a klon?" "must have been a klon then eh?' LOLOL! if you dont think thats trolling THEN WHAT THE FUCK IS TROLLING?
does someone have to literally stand at the end of a bridge and collect bribes to be considered a troll now?
sorry, maybe i wasnt so perfectly clear at the beginning of the thread. you starting to figure out why? because this is a long ass complicated shitty fucking story i didnt want to explain from asshole to earhole. but thanks for forcing my hand.
