I sold my Yankees tickets on Ebay and sent the tickets via COD to someone who lived 50 miles away. It took the US Postal Service 9 days to deliver it. When I complained after not delivering it after 5 days, the postmaster told me that 5 days was not unusual.... 5 days to go 50 miles??? What are they using snails???
: I'am sure that most of you that use e-bay have seen the items from Devon Racing in Sao Paulo,Brazil. pins ,hats ,shirts etc.
: Well I was the high bidder on a Maverick polo shirt embroidery 302-V8 for $9.00.
: Now the rest of the story!
: Registered mail $7.00
: International Postal Money Order $4.50
: His Shipping $6.00
: Total $26.50 for a $9.00 shirt!
: And get this! the girl at the post office tells me it's 7 to 10 days by air to Brazil! 7 to 10 days by "AIR" who the heck is flying the Wright Brothers? I swear She did not bat a eye! She was serious,so if you guys are going to buy anything from Brazil You may want to pool Your purchase and have one point of contact.
