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?

1. I'm not interested in your "bet."

Gee, one would wonder why.... How about MY bet that I'm neither Kevin or

2. Even if I were, there are so many "ID spoofers" working this bit of
turf, participating in your bet would be absurd, since the "We hate
Harry Spoilers" would be out in full force.

3. I'm amused by your racism and ignorance, not angry about it.

4. One of my minors was sociology. Big whoop.


We now know how to determine whether Harry is lying or telling the
truth, convinced of his beliefs or has some doubt. It is his desire to
bet money on the issue.

Harry "betting" means absolutely nothing.. He won't pay up, and he won't
care.. It's a lose lose all the way. Harry has proven over and over
again, he isn't man enough to cover his bets...

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.

BTW, here is an answer to the WalMart/ Costco pay.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_does_costco_pay

Yeah, Costco apparently pays more than Walmart for a starting salary. A *lot*
more? No, at least not to that guy.

I do a lot of shopping at Costco also. WalMart gets my business only if it's
something I know they carry. The local WalMart is about a half mile away. The
Costco is about 10-12.

As to 'American made goods', please check out some labels at Costco. I think
most of their American made stuff is in the meat department.

What is your fetish with liberals? Quote some debatable cause and
effect issues with whatever cities you have in mind.

True about Costco's sources.... and I think you'll see I didn't
champion their source of goods. I was impressed with WalMart during
Sam Walton's tenure.... now, they suck and I'm sure he's turning in
his grave.

As for the poor and uneducated, a lot of them have been kept there
through corporate interests and their influence on local governments
and thence, through the education process. There are plenty of cities
in NC that were governed by the local mill or factory through proxy.

When your stereotypes are examined, they are just that, stereotypes.

Here is the root of my fetish with liberals:

City, State, % of People Below the poverty Level

1. Detroit , MI 32.5%

2. Buffalo , NY 29.9%

3. Cincinnati , OH 27.8%

4.. Cleveland , OH 27.0%

5. Miami , FL 26.9%

5. St.. Louis , MO 26.8%

7.. El Paso , TX 26.4%

8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2%

9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1%

10. Newark , NJ 24.2%

Detroit, MI (1st on poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since
1961;

Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954;

Cincinnati , OH (3rd)...since 1984;

Cleveland , OH (4th)...since 1989;

Miami , FL (5th) has never had a Republican mayor;

St. Louis , MO (6th)....since 1949;

El Paso , TX (7th) has never had a Republican mayor;

Milwaukee , WI (8th)...since 1908;

Philadelphia , PA (9th)...since 1952;

Newark , NJ (10th)...since 1907.

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.

If liberal = poverty and conservative = wealth, explain this:

Provo, UT 36.1%

Lubbock, TX 22.0%

Abilene, TX 16.1%

Hialeah, FL 20.0%

Colorado Springs, CO 12.1%

Bakersfield, CA 20.6%

Lafayette, LA 17.2%

....and these are what? Cities with the highest rates of illegal aliens?

.... and it goes on, but I grow tired of the obvious...


Do your homework and come back with something more intelligent than
talking points gleaned from Beck, Limbaugh, and Coulter....

Nice try, Gene. Lots of good meaningless words and taunts.

The facts presented speak for themselves.

Easy solution, don't buy from Wal-Mart.

I'm sure this is just an oversight on Wal-Mart's part. They are sure to make
amends. With over 4000 stores in the US and being the worlds largest
retailer, they must be doing something right.

to mail sent to the military at an APO address.

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,
