Obviously you know nothing about shipping large heavy things by freight_, instead of just dumping them in a box and dropping them off at some mailing center. Indeed, shipping by freight could end up sea-freight, which is dead slow, but cheap compared to mailing something heavy or bulky. ---

But that post had nothing unreasonable. If you have some weird fixation with those two, why not call them out in the threads where they actually say something unbelievable, instead of stalking them and hijacking other threads? Maybe other posters would like to read about the OP shitty purses and not be distracted by your weird quasi-sexual fixations with those two posters? Or you could- start your own PIT thread about them, eh?:eek: Why are you hijacking this thread to bitch at **Morbo** and **Guinastasia**? ---

No, dumbass, _you_ don’t know what you’re talking about. To ship something like a motorcycle part/pipes to an overseas eBay buyer, one would use DHL or FedEx Air Freight or whatever. I said nothing about dumping anything in a box and dropping it off at “some mailing center.” And who the fuck uses Parcel Post anymore? Do you live in the fifties? Dipshit. ---

Everyone uses Parcel Post. Obviously you know nothing about shipping. It’s how you mail anything that’s too heavy to stuff in a First class envelope. _USPS Domestic Parcel Post is an affordable method of sending large parcels of up to seventy pounds and a maximum combined length and girth of one hundred and thirty inches via ground transportation across the U.S_ > **[Mail & Shipping Services | USPS](https://www.usps.com/ship/standard-post.htm)** > > Compare USPS shipping options like Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, First-Class Mail, and USPS Ground Advantage to find the service that's right for you. > **[Shop by Category | eBay](http://www.ebay.com/n/all-categories)** > > Shop by department, purchase cars, fashion apparel, collectibles, sporting goods, cameras, baby items, and everything else on eBay, the world's online marketplace Sending things by air via Fed-ex etc have weight limitations. Generally these are 150#, which a shipment of motorcycle parts could easily exceed. Not to mention it’s very expensive. ---

Absolutely, but you know- you could start a PIT thread and call them out on those and link to them. Rather than start babbling about issues which occurred in another thread in the past. ---

Wait, I’m confused now. Does the purse have shit in it, or motorcycle parts? I would think this is an important distinction. Also, I can’t help but feel sorry for the purse, in all of this. The true victim. Unwanted, potentially shit in, still in the household of the OP, missing out on all those fun events with the buyer. Sad, really.
