                        @Seul:

                        See, this is why I initially refused to send to Europe. Just got back from the UPS store and those fuckers said it would be $150 to send UPS w/ tracking. So I said fck that, what's the cheapest? And they said $64 via USPS Priority Mail w/ no tracking. So I did that. Never sending to Europe again, this is bulls**t. I asked them why so high and they said they only mark it up 10% from what going to the post office would charge. Fck it.

                        It was the short sleeve 16 (heavy chambray) shirt. I weighed my shirt and a padded envelope, went to the USPS online calculator, and got a figure of 14.95 $. Which seemed entirely correct for FIRST CLASS INT'L MAIL. I told the seller to ship through this service and only this service.

                        Now the people at the UPS store just BLATANTLY ripped him off, cause even Priority Airmail would only be about 30-35 $… And the package was well within the weight limit and dimensionsal restrictions of First Class.

                        1. Priority Airmail isn't tracked?.. I ran the number through the USPS site:

                        Arrival at Post Office February 16, 2012, 8:28 am BELGIUM
                        International Parcels Customs clearance processing complete February 15, 2012, 9:00 pm BELGIUM
                        Processed Through Sort Facility February 14, 2012, 5:55 pm BELGIUM
                        Processed Through Sort Facility February 10, 2012, 7:14 pm ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS)
                        Arrived at Sort Facility February 10, 2012, 7:14 pm ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS)
                        Processed through USPS Sort Facility February 06, 2012, 11:32 pm KENT, WA 98032

                        1. 62 $ to ship?..


                        Hey - just a random rant I guess…....

                          so you actually paid (if you did already!) 24$ too much for this?…sounds not right at all imo

                            I told the seller I was gonna wait until the package arrived. As of right now I'm still undecided on my next move. But let it be known that the seller is not asking for any more money!.. I'm just puzzled by what has happened…

                              gotcha…but instead of deciding on what to do and what not, why don´t you just decide to take some fitpics and let us see if it fits 😉

                                In a minute.

                                I asked the seller for a copy of the receipt. As the tracking # will be on that as well, they will have a hard time explaining why it says 65 $ on the receipt, and 38.85 on the tag and custom form… Let's hope I can annoy the USPS enough for someone to call up the UPS store in question and tell them to quit ripping people off...

                                Oh no: I'm not done here...  😉

                                    cornely is still around, they're now part of the titan group. you can get brand new machines which allows you to programe in designs. old school one like roy's are manual operated only which takes a bit of skill use.

                                    readily available so shouldn't be hard to find. if you get stuck PM me.

                                          White's. I think this really just comes down to price.

                                          I like the Viberg's about 10% more but the price difference for VERY similar quality shoes is quite high. The amount you could save would be more than enough to resole them in a year.

                                            yeah bit hard to compare because the price difference. style wise i actually like whites because i like the chunkier toe and higher arch/back.

                                            viberg differently have the better leather and construction, you can tell its really nicely hand lasted.
