    Angry Arghhhhhhh!!!!!!!

    Got the invoice from Fedex for my kilt. S.O.B.!!!!!

    They also charged the wrong tariff. They charged me 16% (manmade fiber material) not the correct tariif of 12% (wool). Hopefully I can correct their error and pay 4% less.

    AND they charged me a $25 processing/handling fee. CRAP!!

    So much for my casual welsh kilt being less expensive. CRAP!!!!

    At least it looks good....grrr, grumble, moan, complain and generally: whine.

    GREAT IDEA!!!!!!! I will indulge in that exact plan tomorrow at the food and wine festival. They are supposedly sampling the Utopia beer from Sam Adams tomorrow, so I will quaff a wee dram.

    Bummer man. The sorrow drowning sounds like a pretty good idea. But then again you will be so busy that you will forget about it.

    Yep. Good Ol' FEDEX. UPS probably isn't any better. I'm expectiong to get hit with a whopping bill for the 75 yards of tartan I bought on EBAY from Scotland.

    If you can have stuff shipped by royal mail, do it!

    I know the feeling! My parents sent a package for christmas to me here in Germany (they had to pay $60 for shipping) and I had to spend 30 euros just to pick it up, even though most of the things in the package were mine to begin with ><

    Don't let it ruin your enjoyment of the kilt though, eh?

    Now you have to do the math. Is 4% worth the hassle? You won't be able to win the broker fee.

    The lesson, for others, push for national carriers.

    I feel your pain. I've been down that road before.
