I picked up a stroller for Beth on August 7. Almost twenty days later, I have finally sent it. As I said before, the problem was the mailing stores. They kept giving me huge estimates for sending the package. I don’t know how they were calculating the cost, but they were obviously on crack.
I packed the stroller in a wardrobe box from U-Haul. It was the perfect size. I took it to DHL myself, and it was quite cheap. In fact, I’m thinking I should just do that all the time. Sending this big box at the DHL facility cost me as much as sending a hat-box-sized package from the mailing store. What the heck is wrong with them?
Anyway, the box is on it’s way. Sorry for taking so long, Beth. I’m hoping it gets to her in time for her birthday on Tuesday. It would be like an extra birthday present!
So that you can share her anticipation and joy, the DHL tracking number is 66173144144.
Enter the number HERE to track it.
WoooHooo!!! My stroller is on the way
!
There is a time in life when you realize how pathetic you have become…when you just can’t wait to get a stroller in the mail…*sigh*…
Thank you Brad, thank you DHL.
Even more pathetic would be me looking forward to tracking the package.
Brad, read my mind, then erase this.
(If the mind meld didn’t work …. cheap would be how much? or is that rude to ask?)
Oh Snap?
Heh.
What is this “Oh Snap” of which you speak?
(I’ve never heard of it … and I want to laugh at it too.)
“Oh Snap” – a pictoral explanation. Lauren sent it to me.
She got it from HERE
Thanks, Brad!
Oh Snap!
It cost thirty bucks. I think that’s how much I spent sending my nephew’s box of Bionicle parts. Of course that was not simple “ground rate”, because I never send presents with enough time to spare, but still…
hehehe
I’ve been wondering and wondering how this story ends! I’m so relieved to know that the package is on its way.
Beth, please, please post a picture with the kids in the stroller and your smiling face… then I can finally have relief!
This would also be a cheap way for Peggy and I to get to Seward next summer. Ha!
