amazon pricing is really weird. like the other day i needed 12lbs of screws. I could buy 12 1lb boxes for $10.something each. OR I could buy a 15lb box of the exact same screws for $250. I know they do like algorithmic pricing but sometimes it really seems like it fucks up pretty bad.

if what you're trying to say is that postal services are garbage in this era of email and computers that is another discussion. but as postal services go, the usps is the best one in the world.

usps is awful. i ordered something from the us(a dragon dildo) and it kept getting returned to sender because of "unknown address" until i got a refund from the sender. i know americans cannot into geography but jesus christ just send it to literally any country that isnt the us and they will be able to deal with it. if usps seriously is the best one around, id like you to try postal service in a developed country instead. you will be blown the gently caress away by the efficiency and speed. thx 4 reading
