But all it would be is 500 words or so of total anger with lots of words starting with F and C and B.
Just pretend I said it all.

I understand your plight and agree, I don't like shipping rate gouging and as of late there seems to be a lot of it. American Greed, I won't have any part in it nor contribute to it.JCB":4kan5vo9 said:cart. Although I'm a stingy old B I am not so troubled by the cost of a pipe. My objection is a matter of principle. Firstly, I just don't get why there is an effective 20 dollar difference between MrB on their Amazon vs their ebay shop. Secondly, it annoys the heck out of me that Amazon will not allow pipe sales to Australia. American lovers of tobaccos like Condor Long Cut will understand my frustration. As an ironic point of interest, I went thru numerous trial checkouts of MrB pipes and the only one they would let me buy was a miniature pipe which common sense suggests is a hash pipe. I didn't ftr. Thirdly, I get why something that is large or heavy costs more. A pipe in a box in a jiffy bag sent via the post should cost a few dollars postage, tops. Anything else is gouging. Fourthly, USPS is just hopeless. I watch the tracking on my American packages and when the thing doesn't just disappear from tracking, it can spend over a week in a single sort facility. I don't expect next day delivery to Oz, but two weeks? That's just an organisation that doesn't work. Parcels from the UK take half that time.
My interest in MrB was curiosity. But I will pass. Most likely I will buy an Italian pipe thru a UK vendor.
You mean the local stores that taxes and ebay and Amazon and all the other US low tax internet tobacco and pipe vendors sent to the wall?Bullwinkle":i144v2ik said:seems simple enough.. buy local.
