Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / November 2007I just don't understand it. .
I live in Alaska, and I can not believe how many eBay auctions, by people that live in the US, state that they only ship to the continental US, even though the buyer pays the shipping, the REAL SHIPPING COST. Half the people I ask seem like they don't even realize Alaska is a part of the United States. It just seems so f-ing stupid, to alienate one or two states just because, , well, I've heard no good reason so far, besides "we just don't ship there". How f-ing lame. > I live in Alaska, and I can not believe how many eBay auctions, by > people that live in the US, state that they only ship to the continental [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > two states just because, , well, I've heard no good reason so far, > besides "we just don't ship there". How f-ing lame. On the flip side do you realise just how many of you in the good ol' US of A think that UK is a state in merka? It really annoys us Brits when we setup UK only auctions and get bids from Merkins who then complain about postage costing more than the goods because they don't realise that the stuff is the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean to them! Chris >> I live in Alaska, and I can not believe how many eBay auctions, by >> people that live in the US, state that they only ship to the continental [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Chris Yea, I know. So many people here, for so long, have no clue that anything except the moon exists outside the USA, and now it seems like they can't see past their own state. We have some real geniuses over here, I tell you. The funniest thing about it, is that and alarmingly disproportionate amount of them seem to be based in Texas. . I used to Live in Texas, twice actually, and honest to god, I knew 2 schoolteachers that SWORE that Alaska isn't a state (and neither was Hawaii). They admitted to the fact there was 50, but couldn't come up with the 50th on a map. Both of them sword DC was one, but still couldn't explain the statement "continental 48 states". I honestly think they did it so Texas would be the biggest. They're lucky Alaska doesn't get cut in half, , then Texas would be the THIRD biggest state. > >> I live in Alaska, and I can not believe how many eBay auctions, by > >> people that live in the US, state that they only ship to the continental [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > the biggest. They're lucky Alaska doesn't get cut in half, , then Texas > would be the THIRD biggest state. My USA shipping terms... 48 states?...NOPE...there are 50! Alaska and Hawaii...both great places, and states! Heck Yeah! Part of the USA and I will ship to them...(maybe cost me $1- $2 more sometimes,not all, but who cares?) However, I personally DO NOT claim Puerto Rico as part of the US, and will NOT ship there! No Habla Espanol. Habla Ingles! just get it shipped to me and i'll play with it and take pictures. its the next best thing to having it yourself!

How f-ing lame. ...or the rest of the world. "How much is shipping to Denmark?" "Sorry we don't ship to Denmark" (They properly think that Denmark is a city in Alaska ) Allan >> It just seems so f-ing stupid, to alienate one or two states just because, >> , well, I've heard no good reason so far, besides "we just don't ship [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Allan I just found the best one yet, in "Item Location", it states "God Bless America", , but they don't ship to Alaska or Hawaii, , so I guess they mean "God bless America, , ,EXCEPT , , for those two state we're to stupid to find on a map. . . ". Believe me when I say I understand why most of the rest of the world hates Americans. . . > I just found the best one yet, in "Item Location", it states "God Bless > America", , but they don't ship to Alaska or Hawaii, , so I guess they > mean "God bless America, , ,EXCEPT , , for those two state we're to > stupid to find on a map. . . ". Believe me when I say I understand why > most of the rest of the world hates Americans. . . I dont think the rest of the world hate Americans as in the people themselves, the president and politicians and a lot of American companies (ebay being one of those companies) leave a lot to be desired but the people, your ok. :-) But while on the subject of ebay, I am sick of the stupid prices people quote for postage. One item the other day $87 postage for a $50 buy now item that weighs less 500 grams inside Australia, WHAT THE! ! ! And the spamming advertisments we're getting on ebay here is just stupid, its almost as bad as the old days of searching for anything on google and always getting a porn site.
