Dear Folks,

 

How much might it cost to send a pea from NYC to Thailand….via…UPS?

 

Anyone know?

 

Personally, I think it might cost about…..USD160.00, or even more!

 

Why is this?

 

Has anyone had very bad experiences with UPS during the past years, or even more than almost a decade ago?

 

Why is this?  

 

Also, has UPS changed, as a company, from what it once was….many decades ago?

 

And, if so, then why is this?

 

Would you use UPS?  And, if so, then why?

 

So many questions, and so few good answers concerning why our world has so radically changed….from the good world we once knew….when we were younger.

 

Any good answers?

Because, good answers might be welcome…these days.

 

Best regards,

Gamma

 

Note1:  Here is the story of the UPS and the Pea.....

 

Note2:  Here is the song about....decades ago, when we were younger, we would not need to pay USD170 to send a pea from NYC to Thailand....when we were younger....

 

So, then....

Do you Pee S?

a.  FIRST...thank you very much for your info.

 

b. SECOND....are you able to explain this charge of USD171.32 for a credit card of 2.5 ounces, which takes 7 days to deliver from the USA?

 

Just asking......

A: Your welcome.

B: Nope.

Just answering.......

I think GG was comparing the WEIGHT of a pea with that of a Credit Card, hence the very misleading Headline. 

You wouldn't need much insurance on said Pea, but a lot more for the C Card.

But I have had many 'Peas' posted to me privately from UK for next to nothing, and have arrived safely in about a week.

OK....then....

 

Anyone on TV can easily go onto the UPeeS website and plug in the data ....of....

 

Shipper location

Delivery location

And 1 pound weight

Plus 10 inch square by one inch thick package dimension.

 

THEN...you will get a quote of over USD160.00.

 

So, the question still stands.....

 

Does anyone here.... U PEE S?

The value of a credit card is ZERO, until it is authenticated, on line, by the card issuer.

 

Anyway.....

 

If you go onto the UPS website, you will see that the quote of over USD 160 has NOTHING to do with the value of the package....

 

Just try it if you do not believe me.

Easy, as he showed in his post, 0-2.5oz is billable as 1lb.

Does UPS Worldwide Expedited service reach you in 2 - 5 business days?

Not according to my experience.

 

So far, the shipment has not been received....not that it seems to matter much to You Pee S.

 

And, by the way...I just wonder who the major investors of this company might be.....?

 

BLACKROCK?

 

So then....would you love to support BLACKROCK?

I think GG was comparing the WEIGHT of a his pea brain(?) with that of a Credit Card, hence the very misleading Headline posts!

This weight was measured by UPS and printed by UPS.

I can ALWAYS count on you, in times of troubles, for a laugh.

Thank you for that, anyway!!!!

The headline was not intended to be misleading in any way.

 

In fact, the question is:  What would it cost to send a pea from NYC to Thailand, via UPS.

 

This is the question, actually.

So?  How does that alter the fact that 1lb is the chargeable weight?

Ask them!

Ask UPS.  That is the answer, actually.

I did.

You can, too.

Just go onto the UPS website and you will get an immediate quote after you plug in your data about shipper and receiver locations.

 

What....?

 

You want I give you the URL?

 

OK...

 

I will:    https://www.ups.com/track?loc=en_TH&requester=ST/

 

 

But, if you do not have time:

 

These are the real costs:

 

 

If you want to ship a credit card...or...presumably....a pea.

 

 

ALSO...please read the OP....

 

And answer the questions posed.

 

There is no way to include the entire content of the OP in the headline, as even you might realize....

Then I stick with my report of it being absolute rubbish.

Why I actually read it I do not know, but we all need a good laugh now & then.

Unfortunately...this time...this is not so much a laughing matter.

I don't need to, you're the one with the daft question and, it seems, you've had the answer.

I found it rather stupidly amusing. A PEA via UPS from New York?

Or was it an Uninterrupted Power Supply from the Provincial Electricity Authority?

There is no law which states that a serious topic cannot also be slightly titillating.

What is an oz and lb? 

I know, but these days it should be in metric. However if UPS in USA say that their minimum is 1 lb = 500 gms, it would possibly be 1 kg going the other way.

Why UPS?  Buy a stamp and use USPS.

Serious? 

Cost to Send a Pea: How much to send a pea from NYC to Thailand via UPS?

And about as titillating as a 60 year old Lady Boy on Beach Road.

Because GG wanted something to write about this hour.

You have an import licence for vegetables or seeds?

As he seems to be a vegetable that has gone to seed he should be allowed such an import licence!
