Expensive Shipping (3)

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I would be Moe, my wife and co host caretaker
of Cats. That's Sally, Hello, and Curtis's he's out there,
somebody on hold. He was doing some phone screening. There
he is. There's Curtis, there's Curtis.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
It was just Tanner clogging up my line.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Tanner. If he's got something to say, say it on Facebook.
He's up here jamming up the phone lines. No, we
love it when you call us anytime one triple eight
four one five one o five five. We were talking
about the fact that Sally and I went to the
post office yesterday. Is the first time I've been to
the post office in a very long time. Well, let
me back it up. You and I are out of

(00:35):
the loop with a lot of things. We haven't been
to a theater to see a movie in forever. Oh no,
I'm sure we would get sticker shot there. Yes, probably, Curtis.
I'm I'm imagining, what's what's the movie? Ticket costs seven
eight bucks? Now, I'm on a subscription thing, so I
really couldn't tell you would it be? See it could be.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Anywhere from fifteen to twenty I think probably.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Holy crap, and like a bucket of popcorn is it's
crazy six seven bucks. So anyway, we got sticker shock
at the post office. Yeah, mailed packages in a long time.
Four packages to mail that don't wait nearly anything, and
they wait next big packages. Almost forty bucks for the
four packages small packages and the one that's international to

(01:20):
the Weagles yeh in Canada. All right, it's a Christmas
gift for them. And we saw that that's going to
cost us about seventy dollars now, anywhere from sixty to
seventy dollars they mail the package. The gift we're sending
them was under twenty dollars. Yes, and they're like, well,
you got to fill out this form and bring it
back and it probably won't get there before Christmas now
because you're kind of late. But yeah, I'm like, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Look they're coming back in January. I'll give it to
them then.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
So anyway, we've got some suggestions for alternatives. Pirateship dot
com was one of them. FedEx home delivery might be cheaper. Okay,
you know, thank you for the suggestions.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
This is.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Good morning.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I have a great idea.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
I don't know the name of the website, but I
know there are people that drive you know, all over
the country, and sometimes they carried people's packages for a
certain fee.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Well that it is substantially less than you know, the
ups so maybe you could research that.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Okay, that makes a lot of sense. Uh so, yeah,
because we know a person who drove up to Canada
over the weekend. It was his gift, so we could
have just given it to him.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
And I think you screwed that up. There's other people
driving up to Canada, so you know, give them, you
pay them a sort of come out and whatever.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
You vet them, of course you know they're vetted.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
But I've heard about it, but I just don't know
the name of the website.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay, Well, thank you so much. We appreciate the phone call.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
All right, Happy holidays.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
I love you. Yeah, I love you guys. But you're
screwed up, honey. You just give the gifts. The steed
he was driving up there anyway, you know what I
thought he would forget forget it? Yeah, yeah, I mean
he took a whole U haul up there. I'm sure
there was room for one little package somewhere, maybe in
the passenger seat or something. But yeah, but we screwed

(03:24):
that
