I bet 98% of thosenearly 13,000 posts are sticking up for the biggest ripoff of the century Pitney Bowes and the Global Shipping Program. As a long time e-bay buyer, I have the right to complain about being ripped off by a third party that gives third rate service and chargest the highest premium first rate price. So do us all a favour and pull your head in and stop typing the same old tired responce to people who have a legitimate gripe against being ripped off
I skipped thru many pages on this forum and the same old worn out name cropped up with the same old worn out comments time and time again, against everyone who had a gripe about the blatent ripoff on postage and handling. And there is no other name for it, as Pitney Bowes does not even do the delivery, all they do is sort parcels into destination to country and then farm it all off to another freight company. So to put it into perspective, we pay the seller to ship it to Global Shipping (owned by Pitney Bowes) who the subcontracts it out to another carrier, so we pay the usps price to get it to Global Shipping who the charge an absolute ripoff price the pass it all on to a cheaper third party carrier. So you tell me, how are we not being ripped off, just give your tired old comments a rest and leave the rest of us alone

Hello Matilda-Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
Allow me to highlight a few things:
"...the biggest ripoff of the century Pitney Bowes and the Global Shipping Program."
Off the top of my head, I'd suggest Trump University, the Fyre Festival, Church of Sceintoloyg Membership Level-Ups, and anything marketed by Gwyneth Paltrow, as being higher on the 'Biggest Rip-offs Of Century: Consumers Often Lack Intelligence' list (or B.R.O.C.C.O.L.I. for short).
In fact, my one purchase from overseas using GSP was for a large, heavy case coming from the USA, and despite checking all the usual suspects (FedEx, UPS, DHL etc), GSP was cheaper by a significant margin (it was a good 30% to 40% which amounted to dozens of dollars), so I'd suggest GSP — when used correctly — shouldn't be on the B.R.O.C.C.O.L.I. list at all.
"...Pitney Bowes does not even do the delivery, all they do is sort parcels..."
McDonald's doesn't even grow the cows - all they do is serve the burgers.
"padi*0409 12,963 posts and you say start you up and you'll never stop. I bet 98% of thosenearly 13,000 posts are sticking up for the biggest ripoff of the century..."
Even if you were correct and 98% of padi's contribution is pointless defence of GSP (spoiler alert: you're not), that would still leave him 250+ posts within which to contribute something of value to these forums. So far, 100% of your post[sic] does not.
NEVERMIND ON TROUBLES!!! LET'S DO HOBBY!!!
