| | | Posted by fedge For those of you who regularly purchase products online from small businesses, you've no doubt already started to feel the effects of the unprecedented postage rate increase that took effect in May. You'll also be pleased to know that this rate increase, unlike all previous rate hikes, was largely the doing of huge corporations looking for ways to cut their costs at the expense of every small business in America. You can read more about that here. The postal service has not only increased the rates, but they have adopted a new system that adds relatively expensive surcharges for packages based on their size and their contents. Basically, if you're not mailing a letter or a corporate magazine, you're getting completely hosed...
| i find that using FedEx or UPS is CHEAPER than the postal service, but this was one of those 'i am here, it needs to go NOW...' situations. I just wanted to make sure the fucking thing got there. So now, I have to get up early, trundle to the fucking post office and see if the brainless dolt behind the counter can work his fucking terminal and see if my payment made it where it was going.

hehehe... postal money orders, or I pay other bills in person. And yes, a bank i was using ripped me off and then camouflaged their fuck up under the umbrella of 'service fees'... almost $200???? what the fuck kind of service fee is that??? Samurai
| That is bullshit! Not you, the bank LOL My friend's mom was going through a divorce when the bank deposited $400,000.00 into her savings account. She does not have that kind of money so she went to the bank and alerted them of their mistake. They told her it was her money and it was from her husband, court, whatever settlement in the divorce. She knew it was not her money, so she went 'higher-up' into the bank, they still claimed it was her money. She went to her lawyer, who contacted the bank and had them write a letter officially telling her it WAS her money. The lawyer then advised her to invest it in a 10 year GIC and collect the interest. The bank realized the mistake shortly after the investment was started, they obviously demanded their money back, she refused and hid behind the lawyer. The bank claimed she was stealing the money, but it was locked-in to the GIC so she was unable to break it. They decided to give her a $400,000.00 loan that she would have to pay interest on. The lawyer laughed at that idea, and armed with the letter stating it was her money, the settlement was reached. She is to give the money back after the 10 year GIC term, she collects all the interest and is not responsible for any fees or service charges, she will earn $165,000.00 in interest because the bank insisted she was wrong. They had to issue her a interest-free 10 year loan to recover their money.

believe it or not, there are people out there who do not trust nor use banks for anything. I never have and never will. Av and I got into this fistfight a bit ago. I still haven't changed my opinions on banks. I have a savings account at a credit union just so i can cash my paycheck. Other than that, fuck banks. Samurai
| Werd, yo. Banks and I don't get along well. I tried to open an account with a $10000 cheque a couple of years ago. When the bank guy typed in my stats, every light in the bank dimmed. I could hear hard drives snapping. The guy glanced at his monitor and smiled and said, "Um...no." "Student loan matters?" "Yes." "This is a cheque for ten thousand dollars, and I'd like to give it to you for safekeeping." "We can't help you." Apparently, I am toxic to banks. They DO NOT want my business. I couldn't be more proud.
