Glad there's email

Since hindi na masyadong mabili ang post office dahil sa e-mail, nagiisip na lang sila ng bagong larangan na papasukan.. Comedy.

hindi na ako sanay sa snail mail, buti na lang at limited ang encounters :

I was helping out a friend to mail tons of overseas docs, I have the directive to use the safest, cheapest and fastest way via post office. Day 1 mailing was a breeze, I was told that from his experience, he usually gets charged less than a hundred.. Mine was 111.00 Php. Inflation I suppose, I proceeded.

I missed to mail 2 other documents because I left, (he left) out the country detail, I didn't want to guess, oh well there's batch 2 anyway.

So batch 2 day came, suddenly the 111.00 php became 276.00 php. What? Why? E and I in txt conversation :

E : Ma'am 276 daw yung dalawang package kasi based on weight daw sila.
N : Bakit kahapon based on ano sila?
E : Ma'am ganun daw palagi.
N : E yan din yung kahapon, nagdagdag lang ako ng word na "FRANCE" na pinentel pen nag doble na ang weight?
*****
N : Dalawa lang kasya ninyan, yung isang maliit at isang malaki na lang i-send mo
E : Opo
N : Tapos dalhin mo yung naiwan sa ibang post office, tanungin mo kung ano "hula" nila sa weight, pag mura imbento nila, isend mo agad.

Post script : after 1 day, pinagdiet ko yung package ko, balik sa 111.00 php :)
