I also quoted an authority... a postmaster.... Maybe there's a few other opinions, too...... http://tinyurl.com/4r9bz29 You are dealing with a brain-damaged moron there, Gene. Seriously. OK, I give up.... the "Logistics" of writing APO vs NY on a mailing label must cost at *least* an extra $10.00, even though the taxpayer pays all of the "logistics" from NY to the final destination for all shipments. Maybe WalMart needs to buy their "logistics software" from a larger company like Target or Amazon that can afford more accurate and efficient results.... 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? |

As much as your Postmaster knows about how Walmart stores, and ships it's materials internally.. Were you fired from wal-mart, too? Obama is now the postmaster, you see. He's the face of "big government" in a way the GW Bush never could be. Nevermind Bush presided over the biggest percentage growth of government bureaucracy in the history of the USA. |

And I thought he was just plain stupid... :) Seriously, though, it is painful to read, and I'm not referring to his constant spelling and grammar errors. Ingersoll apparently has no ability to think critically. And I do believe he is using the word "logistics" because UPS is using the word in its TV commercials. What the hell would he know about "logistics"? |

Walmart is Doomed
"Gene" wrote in message ... Let's read this again, for content: 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. $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.... Not to defend WalMart, but you guys are debating old, obsolete news, citing articles written in Dec of 2009. WalMart claims to have stopped charging extra to ship to APO addresses in the same month and year. Note the date of the release: http://www.stripes.com/news/walmart-...ipping-1.97436 Eisboch -- It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance. -Thomas Sowell Grady-White Gulfstream, out of Oak Island, NC.

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