The truth is that I know better but I got carried away. I bid before I had read
all the shipping rules. The seller does ship via US post office for troops at APO
addresses so my request was not impossible. I suppose he was greedily looking at
the ($41-$16.29) = $24.71 profit he could make by shipping by UPS. On top of that
he just didn't give a damn if by doing so it cost me (his client) the $24.71 that he
snared plus an extra ($33.62-$4.30) = $29.32 to UPS for brokerage.

The seller's got a good business going with almost 41000 sales and not to many
complaints so I never dreamed he would actually do what he did.

We live and learn. I guess after dealing with soldiers all my life (37 years) I have
a thing or two to learn about business people.

This is why I go to HRO and pay a few pennies more.
