You can always make your own shipping arrangements if Wal-Mart's rates are too high for you. Keep reading and subscribing to that progressive crap and you'll turn into another Krause. You're already well on the way with your hatred of religious folks. And do I detect a wee bit of narcissism, old boy? -- Ziggy® Y'all sure are touchy down there in Swampland. Can't a man have an opinion of his own? I doubt he learned to be a mindless religious fundie in the navy, eh, flajim?

Oooooo, never seen that before... NOT! Man, we should put a target on one of their kids homes.... Yeah, that's how we get our way! And, for factually challenged morons like Scott Ingersoll: Some retailers inflate costs to ship to APO addresses By Mark Patton Stars and Stripes Published: December 16, 2009 WIESBADEN, Germany — Overseas military customers ordering gifts online from certain retailers might get an unpleasant surprise when shipping and handling fees are tacked on at the end of the purchase. Those same customers might be most surprised to find that retail giant Walmart had the biggest markup. On a $120 purchase, Walmart.com charged $10.35 to ship to an APO address, compared with $2.10 to a stateside address. For most items, Amazon.com charged the same to ship to an APO address as a stateside address. And Target offered shipping on a $120 purchase to an APO address for less than to a stateside address. Advertisement Wal-Mart Inc. officials did not return calls requesting an interview. However, in an e-mailed response, spokesman Ravi Jariwala said: “In your shopping cart during the checkout process, we show an estimated shipping cost, based on our lowest-price shipping method and assuming all items in your cart are going to a single address within the contiguous United States. If you select a different shipping method, a military APO/FPO address or an address outside the contiguous United States, your actual shipping cost may be higher. We continue to work with carriers to negotiate favorable shipping rates.” But Earl Small, the postmaster at Wiesbaden Army Airfield, said that the shipping and handling charges have nothing to do with the military postal system or the U.S. Postal Service. “A company can charge whatever they want,” said Small, who explained that items up to 108 inches are normally shipped at normal cost, but larger items often fall under a more expensive “balloon charge.” According to Small, when companies ship to APO addresses in Europe, the order is shipped to New York, after which the Department of Defense picks up the tab to get the package to an APO address. On Walmart.com, the company says shipping costs will be higher to APO addresses due to higher transportation costs. “There is no higher transportation costs,” Small said. “Companies are abusing the system and making a killing.” -- Wal-Mart is ripping off those who send packages to servicemen, plain and simple. |

Remember when I asked for debatable cause and effect issues? Here's an example of your logic: Whenever ice cream sales increase, so do shark attacks. Therefore, ice cream sales cause shark attacks. Fact of the matter is that there are plenty of cities with liberal governments that are at or below the average poverty rate. Berkeley, CA, Cambridge, MA, and Seattle, WA come to mind, though I'm sure there are more.

Gouging.... and gouging folks on a fixed income that are likely a serrated family... already under stress.... Maybe it does cost them more, did you develop their logistics software?

Apparently, you know that the practice is indefensible, so you're trying to pick some sort of oblique fight. So tell me all about when you developed Walmart's Logistics and shipping operations.. I mean, you seem to know exactly how it works, maybe you can prove there are no extra issues for them to send to APO's that others don't have internally.. I will give you some time on this one, so you can go back and check your records. I don't expect you to remember the software you wrote way back then and explain it all to us.. Tell me, what conceivable issue could there be in writing SGT John Smith PSC 999 Box 99 APO AE 99999 VS. SGT John Smith 123 Elm Street Sometown, NY 99999 Is some kind of weird ink involved? There are no logistics involved here, it is the POST OFFICE. You are talking nonsense..... Read this, again, for content: "But Earl Small, the postmaster at Wiesbaden Army Airfield, said that the shipping and handling charges have nothing to do with the military postal system or the U.S. Postal Service. "A company can charge whatever they want," said Small, who explained that items up to 108 inches are normally shipped at normal cost, but larger items often fall under a more expensive "balloon charge." According to Small, when companies ship to APO addresses in Europe, the order is shipped to New York, after which the Department of Defense picks up the tab to get the package to an APO address. On Walmart.com, the company says shipping costs will be higher to APO addresses due to higher transportation costs. "There is no higher transportation costs," Small said. "Companies are abusing the system and making a killing."" Talking sense to the Mini-man is.... just plain nonsensical! |

Snotty has heard the word "logistics" a few times in UPS TV commercials and thinks he understands what it means and how to use it. The real answer is that Wal-Mart has found a way to screw over another market segment. It screws its employees generally, it screws its women employees, it screws the wage-hour laws, it screws immigrant workers, it screws local retailers, it screws America's remaining factory workers...so why not screw military families? |

And he was serious. As Jack Paar used to say, "I kid you not." |

You just hate them because the original owner was Christian.. Sorry Gene, you are waaaaay too transparent on this one... You are totally NOT making any sense on this one. But, then, you've digressed from talking about why WalMart gouges people in the military to talking about religion. Apparently, you know that the practice is indefensible, so you're trying to pick some sort of oblique fight. So tell me all about when you developed Walmart's Logistics and shipping operations.. I mean, you seem to know exactly how it works, maybe you can prove there are no extra issues for them to send to APO's that others don't have internally.. I will give you some time on this one, so you can go back and check your records. I don't expect you to remember the software you wrote way back then and explain it all to us.. Tell me, what conceivable issue could there be in writing SGT John Smith PSC 999 Box 99 APO AE 99999 VS. SGT John Smith 123 Elm Street Sometown, NY 99999 Is some kind of weird ink involved? There are no logistics involved here, it is the POST OFFICE. You are talking nonsense..... Read this, again, for content: "But Earl Small, the postmaster at Wiesbaden Army Airfield, said that the shipping and handling charges have nothing to do with the military postal system or the U.S. Postal Service. "A company can charge whatever they want," said Small, who explained that items up to 108 inches are normally shipped at normal cost, but larger items often fall under a more expensive "balloon charge." According to Small, when companies ship to APO addresses in Europe, the order is shipped to New York, after which the Department of Defense picks up the tab to get the package to an APO address. On Walmart.com, the company says shipping costs will be higher to APO addresses due to higher transportation costs. "There is no higher transportation costs," Small said. "Companies are abusing the system and making a killing."" Talking sense to the Mini-man is.... just plain nonsensical! Another stupid post from Don. |
