Trying to get a Blogger T-Shirt

Nice T-shirt not? So I tried to order it through the googlestore as it was advertised at blogger ONLY $9

So I ordered 2 XL men’s T-shirts and 1 Medium Sized Woman’s.

2 Men’s Blogger T-shirt – $10.50 – $21.00 size: XX-Large
1 Women’s Blogger T-Shirt – $11.25 – $11.25 size: Medium
SUBTOTAL $32.25

3 T-shirts for this amount of money is payable.

But today I was informed about the ‘shippingscost for international orders’
Yup.. AMR is living in The Netherlands .. You know: wooden shoes, windmills .. & Hans Brinker

Thank you for placing this Google Store order………….
“In addition, we ship international orders via free domicile and any duties and taxes incurred for your international shipment are also calculated in the
shipping charge shown below, as well as a $25 processing fee for international orders.
Therefore, the total shipping charge for this order is $103.90 to ship via UPS Int’l Standard shipping”.

Processing fee: $25 that’s 78.90 … from the actual price 32.25 they add more than 240% for duties & taxes… Yeah Right ..

Thank you blogger for offering me a T-shirt JUST $9

order cancelled.

A gift from GP

With my GP batteries I got a nice simple bag delivered a few months ago.
The bag is protecting the batteries and keeping them together of course :-)
As I bought 4 extra batteries I thought such little bag was delivered with it.
Nope..

A few weeks ago I wrote an online message to GP (at their site) and waited for their response. After 3 weeks: a nice letter explaining that such ‘bags’ were used as ‘special action gift / promotion item’, but they wrote me that they had some ‘spares’ .. On of them they send to me.

It’s small, but easy to use! Thanks GP ..

You see: it’s easy to get a weblog entry for getting free advertisement ;-)
