U.K. BUYERS TAKE NOTE.... (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php?topic=5846.0) thread has gone awol. It mentioned the extortionate charges uk citizens must pay when importing goods into the UK.
Well, not that I am really that interested, just curious...
Anywayz, I wanted to show you a company is trying to rip me off to deliver goods to my home. All I want to buy is a single solitary lounge cushion yet they want to charge me $2 million to ship it which I don't think is very fair, especially when they said on the site it would be free :(

Good god that is ridiculous. Remind me not to ever ship or recieve anything from that company ever in my life. ;D

Steve with the amount you've been dropping on daybills lately I would have thought that a pittance?

Jeezum crow, that has got to be a mistake.
Unless of course, it's getting Down Under via nuclear submarine with Capt. Nemo at the helm.

The thread was probably removed because a member made borderline terrorist threats, and a moderator wisely chose to remove it. It's possible that the person who started the thread chose to remove it (with the "remove topic" option - since he started the thread), which was probably the best option for him after making such statements (since he was apparently not going to try to recant those statements, for whatever reason, which is alarming).
Or people be going Loco.... :o

The only "people going Loco" were the person who made borderline threatening statements, and those who thought that kind of idiocy was funny.

Damn you choose to pass by the UK thread and miss all the excitement... whodone what I need the scoop now.

A UK member cracked a joke,another member had a massive hissy fit,,joke was removed..

Stewart Boyle and Paul Waines, no one had a "hissy fit". If you guys can't see that saying something like Paul Waines' statements in the previous thread is wrong, on several levels, you guys may need a little learning lesson. "Freedom of speech" does not mean you can say whatever you want. Some people think they can say whatever they want online without fear of repercussions, and that is simply not the case.
P.S. If nothing was wrong with your statements in the thread in question, then why was it deleted? And when Paul Waines whined about bad service with having his posters delivered and then made borderline terrorist threats toward the employees of that company, who is the "drama queen"? I just tried to tell you how stupid that is, and then you guys tried to play it off like it was some little joke, which it certainly is not. Unbelievable.

Wayfair is the Egbert of housewares. They sell nearly everything and at reasonable prices, but their reviews are horrendous. They screw up orders, use drunk deliverymen, and do not believe in customer service. Most places that bad are little outfits set up for bait and switch scams with outrageous restocking fees and the like. But Wayfair is HUGE, like amazon HUGE. I am not sure how they have remained such a force in the business.

It does mean exactly that, Neo.
I consider you an ok guy, and somehow, Paul's words rubbed you in a bad way...

Stew
Get over myself? This has nothing to do with me. There are laws in place, some of which are international, that prohibit people from making such statements. Just because someone is saying stuff like that online, that does not make him/her above the law.
What do you disagree with? Please address the questions I have mentioned, including what exactly is funny about terrorist activities that were mentioned. You may think it's funny, but I assure you that the terrorist attacks (similar to the ones you and Paul Waines think are so funny to joke about) that have been committed were no joking matters.
-

Matias, thanks for the kind words. I assure you that "freedom of speech" does not mean that one can say whatever he/she wants. There are numerous examples of things that are against the law to say (under both national and international laws). It's nothing personal, and nothing rubbed me the wrong way, I'm just not going to sit idly while people dispel false information, and I'll stand up to statements that put a big black eye on a place that I am associated with.

Neo we live in a Country that until very recently was at the forefront of a ruthless and sustained terrorist campaign.
We don`t need no learning from anyone regards such things.
If you could point out which terrorist activity you are referring to I`ll be happy to respond.

Stewart, you obviously need quite a bit of learning if you think it's within the law to make statements that Paul Waines did in the thread in question. I assure you, there are laws that prohibit that. I would include the quotes of PW, but since the other thread was deleted (likely because of PW's statements) it wouldn't make much sense for me to add those quotes here.

There's generally some discretion with almost any law violation, including (as I mentioned) borderline threats. I'm not going to recite the laws and turn this into a lecture, and I'm sure that you can find them on your own.

The only way within UK law that would lead to a successful prosecution,was if said statement contained an element of menace.
Fails on that criteria,for a start..

I was googling a bit and apparently there are places where some phrases could get you in trouble (like saying "I want to kill the president" in the US, or screaming "fire" in a crowded place).
I believe that down here in the uncivilized south - ;D- there aren't such restrictions. In fact, there's a few songs that come to my mind in wich killing the president is an important part of the lyrics...
Specifically talking about Paul's phrase, I hardly think it was a terrorist threat, but someone obviously saw it the other way. :(

OK, Mr. Lawyer. If you want to go to an authority, and repeat the statements that Paul Waines made, and learn the hard way whether or not you can be prosecuted, then that is your prerogative. Or if you want to joke about something like that to the face of the victims or the families of people who have been devastated by terrorist attacks similar to the ones that PW mentioned and you two think are so funny, then good luck.
You continue to deflect, when the primary issue is that I called both of you out and said that PW's statements are not funny (to most people), and the logic behind them is idiotic. Yet you two continued to carry on "joking" and saying I had a "hissy fit" and I'm a "drama queen" when that is absolutely not the case. You guys started this, you guys kept making little "cheeky" deflective remarks, and this is what it has turned into, and the other thread is gone now that shows you two acting like clowns.

Not all the same laws apply to everywhere. It's a moot argument at this point because I'm not going to repeat the statements in the other thread, that are clearly shameful, and in violation of laws, some of which are international. For the record, I said it was a "borderline terrorist threat" as it can be interpreted differently.

I said "borderline" because there is some discretion regarding the legalities in statements such as Paul Waines', as they could be interpreted differently.
P.S. It's clear that you're not a lawyer.

I'm glad you are doing well. The fact is that the issue is of a very serious nature, and not something that is considered by many to be a "joke." Trying to express that sentiment, that PW's comments could be interpreted differently, is an exercise in futility.

The thread was deleted for a reason, and then it (partially) continued here, and people continued to call me out. Amazing that no one else stood up publicly to the statements Paul Waines made in his deleted thread, as they would be cause for alarm for any business and its employees. Apparently, it was easier just to delete the thread, and the person who was responsible for the statements in question to not take any accountability for them.

Why was your thread deleted in the first place? You made the wild statements in that thread. Would you like me to add some screenshots of that thread and your bizarre statements here so this thread can be deleted also?
The thread that contained your out of line statements is deleted and you think that you don't have to explain yourself. Amazing how you continue to deflect every question I've asked you, and act like there's something wrong with me.

My statements were, "there's not enough bombs in the mail these days" and if I had my way, I'd round them up put them in a field and **** the bastards. Thats me digging back at the postal service in a jocular way. Have you never heard of Monty python, or Kenny Everett... Now if that's terrorism boy are we fucked..
Several people got the jokes and where they were from.
It's funny that my REAL name and email address is out there on this forum, why do you hide behind a handle...?

Might I butt in?
I'm not sure who it was that pulled down the thread, but it was probably more for Paul's protection than anyone realizes.
Certain words -- buzz words -- that Paul unintentionally posted are red flags for big brother.
It is entirely possible that if the thread in question was left standing, an unwelcome knock might've soon been heard at the Waines Manor door.
(If you know what I mean.)
And, this forum might be subject to some unsolicited (and undeserved) scrutiny.
As for 'freedom of speech,' which we prize so highly over here, it does not mean that we can say anything we want about anything we desire.
There are limits.
If we disparage others for their race, religion, sexuality, ethnicity, etc., etc., we cross the line and we all pay the price.
Just my two cents.
Carry on. Kiss and make up.

Paul, if you think that those comments are purely jokes and could not cause alarm, especially after your diatribe against the Royal Mail, then you are delusional. Saying "there aren't enough bombs in the mail", is not a joking matter. Period. The quote from the comedian could be interpreted differently, and it's really not something to be joking about given the context of yet another one of your diatribes against the Royal Mail. Why was the thread deleted if there was nothing wrong with saying stuff like that? It's safe to say that I represent the silent majority who would agree that it is foolish, at best, to make such statements.
Who cares that you use your real name? I don't have to explain why I use a "handle" and I'm certainly not "hiding." I am far from the most anonymous person here, and besides, that has nothing to do with anything in this thread. You're deflecting again.
Thanks for your advice, but I determine what is best for me and what I "need" to do.

"Burying the hatchet" has nothing to do with this thread, as (in hindsight) we agreed to disagree from the beginning. Do we need some special bell like the end of a boxing match or something to signal that this thread is over, and no more responses are allowed? I would be fine with that.

This is a discussion I had several time with friends. I believe anything (politically correct or not) is suitable for making humor. Making jokes about blowing up institutional facilities can be funny, actually blowing up -or thinking of- institutional facilities is not. Accident jokes can be funny, going to a funeral and making fun of the family involved in an actual accident is not. You get the idea...

Happy now? Now I'm apparently not a "big boy", since I don't know (what you consider) proper forum "etiquette?" You sure are the master of great, witty little banter. ;)
USA! USA! USA!
You are doing a terrible job at 'diffusing' the situation (uh oh is that too an insinuation of terrorism?)

No. Like I said, you're one of the best with the great, witty little banter. ;) Thanks for chiming in with your great little responses, as always. ;)

No, the statements that were made would definitely have warranted further investigation. If you're not able to see that then that's your problem. Like I said, you're one of the best with the great, witty little banter. ;) Thanks for chiming in with your great little responses, as always. ;)
Further investigation from whom? Here is some great witty little banter for you - if you can't see that Paul is not a terrorist and had no genuine terrorist intentions based on an offhand comment on a poster collecting forum then you're clearly deluded.
You're also delusional if you think it's your role to play Mr. Homeland Security - why turn this thread into a US vs. the world cliche? What was the point of that?
Leave your narcissistic ignorance to threats against the USPS - the Royal Mail clearly has enough problems...

First of all, there are some things that people can't say, such as the statements PW made, regardless of their name. There is no way to know what one's intentions are when they make statements like that, and they are investigated. Some people think they can say whatever they want online, they can't. Period.
"Playing Mr. Homeland Security?" What are you talking about? I simply tried to tell him how stupid it was to make statements like that, and those things are absolutely not ignored.
I thought it was interesting how the only two people who agreed with me (publicly) are from the USA, and I took a page out of your little banter book, maybe it didn't go over so well with you.
"Narcissistic ignorance?" You have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe you should stick with your bad attempts at Top Gun jokes.

Who are you to decide what can and cannot be said? Who is investigating? Statements are not ignored by whom? It's clear most of us saw Paul's posts for what they were and the context in which they were written. But I guess a rampant case of paranoia (have you watched the Matrix one too many times perhaps?) and self-importance may affect one's outlook. Period.
I think Paul can handle himself (and any consequences of what he decides to post or write). You can disagree with the intended humour - but to unilaterally decide that Paul cannot make those posts or write the things he wants to write is ridiculous. Period.
You come across as seeming to think of yourself as the Chief of the Internet Police as well as Tom Cruises' #1 fan. I don't have a problem so much with the Tom Cruise part but when you attempt to convey what is an opinion in such absolutes you need to be called out on it. Period.

"Rampant case of paranoia"? You have no idea what you're talking about.
"To unilaterally decide that Paul cannot make those posts?" I never said he can't say those posts, I'm not going to repeat myself about what I said about comments like that.

Tom Cruise's #1 fan? Wow. I like some of his movies, and I think it's funny how people jump on the bandwagon to hate him, and I stand up against that kind of stuff, and that makes me his #1 fan? Do I runoff at the mouth, making fun of purchases you've made, actors you like, etc.? No, because I'm not an internet troll. You were talking trash about me before I even started on this forum. People like you are a main reason why people don't join forums, and I don't know why I thought you wouldn't continue with that trash talk the entire time I've been here.
Your assessment was one of the most asinine things I have ever read.

For the sake of originality - "You have no idea what you're talking about".
How could I talk trash about you before you even joined the forum? That seems pretty counter intuitive to me - and why suddenly jump to taking the discussion so personally?
Accusing me of talking trash about you the entire time you've been here - where the hell did that come from?! Other than some Top Gun posts (which were clearly not directed at you in any personal manner - and I mean come on it's Top freakin' Gun!) when have we ever even conversed? You seem to have me confused with trolls of forums' past - believe me my life is more meaningful than that eyeroll

"Why suddenly jump to taking the discussion so personally?" Look at your last comment with all the personal accusations against me. I'll just leave it at that.
Before I started here, with the Avatar lenticular post-auction discussion you said (referring to me):
just reflects someone wanting to be 'the first kid on the block with latest new toy'.
I know you've said a lot of crap about at least one other purchase of mine, I'm not going to delve any deeper into in than that, because this has really gone farther than it had to in the first place.

Oh wow now I get why any lenticular posting was such a sensitive topic for you. You know commenting on a poster is quite separate from commenting on a person right - the two are not reflections of each other...
To be fair and clear YOU were the one who started leveling personal attacks with your repeated "witty little banter" etc. scoffs. Any comments I made were in relation to your actions/remarks regarding Paul's posting situation and not you on a personal level.
I have never set out to personally attack anyone (least of all you). The fact you see comments on an Avatar lenticular from 3 years ago! as a slight against you personally and held that grudge is astonishing to me. How can you go through life with such thin skin? I guess it helps explain how you could misconstrue Paul's original posting and blow it completely out of proportion.

You asked me to tell you when you talked trash about me/my stuff and I told you.
If you think your "the big boys, paranoia, etc." comments weren't personal, but my comments about your "witty little banter" were personal, then fine.
I still wonder what you think would happen if you walked into a Post Office or some public building and made comments like those of PW, yet y'all think it's OK to say that stuff in a public forum online, and you guys point to me like there's something wrong with me for calling them out. Incredible. I'm not going to continue to repeat myself about Paul's original posting, or how you think I blew it out of proportion (like no one else precipitated it in any way). Apparently, we'll have to agree to disagree with the majority of this.
I will try to not publicly interfere with statements like those of PW's again, here. Now, back to posters!

Can't we all just get along guys. Kiss and make up already lol. We all have our own taste with our collections that is why each of us collect what we do. We all have our own opinions about what other people collect. I have learned from this forum not to take things serious. Just make up already. ;D

HOLY CRAP LOAD OF CRAP APF... How did this turn into WWIII? I don't see this as an America vs The world thing. I once was seeing a girl while in Australia and it was 9/11 2002. The flags were at half mast down by QUT in Brisbane and I saw it as some patronizing gesture and got in this conversation with her about how if you are not American you don't understand or could feel the pain that Americans did. She nearly slapped me and then wouldn't take my phone calls... A few days later I met her and her mom for lunch and got a huge lecture about how even though it seems that Americans are all alone it impacts everyone talked about how even though we are different nations we all know people impacted. It was all very heartfelt. I don't ever doubt that people outside the US do give us their hearts from time to time. So I don't agree into making this argument a US v World argument... oh and yeah I am not reading all that crape in its entirety
-
For the record, the USA vs. UK thing I mentioned was taken out of context, it was just an observation of this thread. Moving on now...

I would call them and just cancel my order if it was me. It has got to be an error in their system. For that amount of money for shipping you would think that they are walking it across country and hand delivering it to you. ;D

U.K. BUYERS TAKE NOTE.... (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php?topic=5846.0) thread has gone awol. It mentioned the extortionate charges uk citizens must pay when importing goods into the UK.
Well, not that I am really that interested, just curious...
Anywayz, I wanted to show you a company is trying to rip me off to deliver goods to my home. All I want to buy is a single solitary lounge cushion yet they want to charge me $2 million to ship it which I don't think is very fair, especially when they said on the site it would be free :(
(http://www.mysterycorp.com/temp/expensiveCushion.jpg)
Is this for REAL?
I think that in the UK the main problem is the lack of clarity on charges, and the different practices applied by FEDEX or USPS or Parcel Force. It is expensive and confusing.
I normally pay an average of +£100 including import fees and handling fees...
But that price you were quoted is just .....IS THAT FOR REAL?
-

It must have been a computer glitch as I changed my shipping address as per the red instruction then it seemed to proceed with free shipping :)

good that you noticed this on time... I can see myself clicking ''AGREE''... an easy mistake to make......aghhhhhhhhhh

Ouch - anyone notice the big increase in UK postage this week? A tube that would normally cost about £3.75 from a seller was £6.75. Ridiculous price increase, it'll put me off picking up cheapy single posters on ebay UK.

Or Argentina. Shipping costs a pretty penny down here...

u think thats bad - ive just been quoted £11.96 to send 1 poster, 2nd class recorded, in a standard tube to someone in the UK!!!
i spent most of my lunch break arguing the toss but this stupid jobs - worth was having none of it! looks like ill be trying Hermes Couriers from now on - a bit more hassle but cheaper by far!
Long live the British Post Office - Not!!
-
Jeez! That is ridiculous. Have you tried the parcel2go website, Mike? Quite useful for courier quotes - http://www.parcel2go.com/
I have a Bruce sized emovie canon to send to Teamweapon...I think courier is going to be substantially cheaper than RM.

Postal charges are not quite as simple as most people think.
A seller has to include other factors into shipping..
Tube cost,postage v delivery time expectations..etc.
Stew

So true Stew
And for some reason the calculations never match. The costs are always on the increase= it seems that I always have to pay more and more. And this reminds me that I hate PARCEL FORCE. Really. I do.

I struggle to fairly price any shipping cost when I sell any of my stuff.
I can however understand any seller who choose to charge the market rate,

I sell a lot of stuff on ebay (no paper though)
and in my town we have 3 post offices, so today i did a little experiment.
I sold 3 identical items to the UK so i packaged them all in the exact same way and took each one to a different office.
I got 3 different prices.... .90c , 1.50 and 3.30 for the same packages weighing exactly the same and all going to similar locations.
It's no wonder i have to guess my shipping charges on ebay eyeroll
