Well shame on Wal-Mart. 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?

Wow, a ten dollar shipping fee to get a package to some God forsaken
desert in God knows where.. 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.

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.

We should tell WalMart how we feel about the practice.

I said the following:

" have just been informed, through the article below, of your policy with regard
to mail sent to the military at an APO address.

http://www.stripes.com/news/some-ret...resses-1.97267

As a retired soldier, I find the overcharges for mail delivered to the military
overseas an extremely repugnant practice. It is in poor taste to take advantage
of the military in such a manner. I can only commend "The Stars and Stripes" for
publishing the information.

Until I hear that this policy has been corrected, you'll not find me shopping at
WalMart. I will also do my best to spread the word about this practice.

Thank you for your time,

John Herring
