I Thought But Thought Again

I'm sure happy we are finally seeing and feeling some cooler temps. Of course there will still be some 90's for a while yet. Sleeping had been just great.

I received another e-mail today stating that they did receive the a copy of the receipt but they are out of stock until Jan. I sent back a reply that I will keep all contact in a file for future reference. I had seen the those pop up tents for really cheap. So I thought I would order one in the mean time. I went in to order @ $14.41 but the shipping was $12. I will wait for the replacement.


Here is the offending top of the privacy tent

Can you see the little tail sticking out?

  1. $12 to ship a $15 tent??? I think I'd rather buy a $30 tent. One that is only $15 is not going to be sturdy and won't last long under any kind of use.

  2. Shipping has gotten outrageous! I am making a list of changes I need to make to have a better camping experience!

  3. Hi Gypsy,
    I know I responded to you this morning. UGH!

    Yes the shipping was silly. I want to do more camping so I thought I would buy this cheapo privacy tent until they replace the other in Jan. But I sure won't be paying that much for such a cheap thing.

    Hi Sondra,

    Yes this last trip sure did make me see what more is needed and what isn't. I still may buy a small camper in early spring unless I can make longer trips possible with the truck camper.

  4. Great sunrise picture.

    Daughter recently traveled in Italy. She met a nice family who invited her and hubby to dinner at their modest home. The couple also invited their neighbors. Terri wanted to send both couples a gift. She bought them preserves, pickles, etc from an Amish store in Lancaster, PA. Total costs of both gifts = $60,00. Total cost to ship to Italy = $140.00 !!!

  5. Hi Phyllis,

    YIKES! It is so outrageous to ship things. Not like you are using the entire truck to ship one pkg. These companies are making a fortune on us. And then your lucky if you stuff arrives in one piece.
