Rosalín on Nostr: Just paid $157 for 2-day international shipping with UPS because I accidentally left ...
Just paid $157 for 2-day international shipping with UPS because I accidentally left my airPods max at someone's house in the US. I had the money to eat the cost, but my brain hurts when considering that price. Years ago, I sent a laptop, valued at around the same price, to my friend Kyle. Now, granted, it was going from New Jersey to New York State, but I only paid $20 for that shipment. The cheapest I could have spent to ship and insure an international shipment of $600 was $97. Ow. That'll teach me to not forget anything in the US when crossing the border. Just, ow ow ow. That shipping. Wow.
