    Shipping parts- new way to me. Thought I’d share.

    They are just middle men. It’s like Pitney Bowes or something was actually on the label as the end seller / negotiator. USPS -in this case makes a deal with the company and then the company sells access to the shippers via a web program. Each one makes a few cents or a percentage per package...

    Shipping parts- new way to me. Thought I’d share.

    So far they (pirate ship) only require sellers info. Probably to cut down on the possibility of shipping bad stuff. I’m not sure if they verified me other than my CC matched who I said I was.

    Shipping parts- new way to me. Thought I’d share.

    Also, what is nice, knowing the box size and weight (from the scale you can buy and use at home) it takes literally 2minutes and you can give a shipping quote. Even if you want multiple quote from USPS UPS FedEx and different routes like 1 day, 2 day or ground 4-5 to save money or time. Syleng1

    General Dollar - Utube videos showing scams

    Interesting stuff right there. Pros and cons of DG. Here in my town, they purchased the property under an another name. The town approved the retail shop and assumed it was going to be something… then once the land use was approved- DG moved in. 6 weeks later- the doors opened. They are based...

    General Dollar - Utube videos showing scams

    What I learned thru the videos is that DG floods the area also preventing better stores from entering the area. A major grocery store will no longer entertain moving to a smaller town because DG and like type stores dominate the market share. I allways wondered why they are so close together. On...

    General Dollar - Utube videos showing scams

    Sorry, did not know how to post the subject. But yesterday I was surfing You tube and watched a few videos how Dollar General has a marketing plan that involves ripping off people especially in low- impoverished areas. I personally dont shop at one. But they are like every 7miles apart (or less)...

    How do you ensure that the gasoline that you purchase is the best quality?

    You cannot insure anything about the crap at the pump other than buying 55 gals of fuel from a known reseller. Even the amount of chemicals we have to add to “stabilize” just to last 2-3 months. There are reports out on you tube that claim even octain is a lie here in the US. We pay more for...

    Life goes by fast- enjoy the small stuff

    Every month I take my dad who’s in his 80’s for haircuts. As I sit here waiting my turn… I’m laughing over the barbershop conversation I’ve heard over the last 30 years of going with my Dad. Cars, cops, neighborhood chat, money, gold, guns. Movies, work…. Amazing the stuff we chat about. Those...

    And, it's a..................FIBERGLAS boat

    I’m honestly parts are allways available on eBay. I bought factory parts manuals and with those numbers you can find it almost anywhere. I’m amazed the parts still available for that thing. I took the remote shifter apart and found a few broken parts. A few numbers later thanks to the forum...

    What made you drive a MoPar?

    QQ: what makes you drive or follow the MoPar line of cars? Answer the poll and leave your comment below. For me I grew up in the 70’s and all my parents could afford was left over 60’s cars of any brand. BUT, when I hit puberty they had a 1972 Demon 340-3speed manual as my moms car and a 1969...

    Carlisle - what to do with your vehicles?!?

    Thanks! I did register and pay the $30 trailer parking fee. Not sure if my hotel has the ability of parking at this one. I will forget the $30 and park at the hotel and drive to and from. I will however park the car in the trailer at night. I don’t trust people anymore.

    New toy hauler and need custom license plate ideas.

    Need an idea for a good custom (vanity) license plate idea for the new Toy hauler the wife and I bought yesterday. We both like camping and quad riding so we bought a tow behind camper to accomplish this and it forces me to a little down time. We can accommodate 7 letters/ numbers here in CT...

    No reply post

    Waaaaaaa! Everyone here has gotten no answers or small answers or completely side tracked all together. Yea! It’s not fair but there is no guarantee in life. Maybe nobody had an answer. Side note: nothing worse than people who post just to post something even if it’s not relevant…. I’ve done it...

    Any one a small receipt scanner for small biz?

    I could but some days I’ve got like 50 individual receipts. I figured by now there was a program or product that would do that because me and technology well we kinda have issues.

    Any one a small receipt scanner for small biz?

    Just trying to save time. I’m on the road a lot more than I used to and sometimes after a long day I can’t get to the office easily. phone pics are actually a great idea but I was looking for a way to save them automatically to a file that condense them. I don’t like saving to any clouds. Too...
