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. $10.00 or $.10 why would you charge people more, just because they have an APO address?Amazon didn't do it. Target didn't do it. In fact, I'm not sure that you'd find anybody else doing it. It doesn't cost any more to ship to an APO than any other address, why would you charge more? Gouging.... and gouging folks on a fixed income that are likely a serrated family... already under stress.... It's absolutely gouging. So do something about it. http://walmartstores.com/contactus/feedback.aspx |

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 You, et al, with your English language abilities, should be able to do much better. Here's the place to go: http://walmartstores.com/contactus/feedback.aspx That's nice, Herring, but are you really saying that Tosk, to whom you responded here, has "English language abilities"? If so, what are they? Fortunately, you put in "et al." |

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. Actually, I suspect he is brain-damaged, Gene.

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! |
