WTF is with all the ConUS only sales? (1 Viewer)

International buyers should NOT be discriminated against. But the buyer/seller should negotiate the right shipping method/payment at the very beginning. And stop being lazy. Filling out a customs form is not that big of a deal.

I get what you mean, but discrimination is not the right word here.

Customs forms aren't the only issue as you have seen in this thread.
You Could offer your services as a international shipping intermediary.. Should you, that's up to you.

Maybe poor choice of words, but people don't need to be hyper-sensitive about these things. Obviously no one is forcing anyone to do anything they don't want to do.

CONUS is the acronym for Contiguous United States (the most common), Conterminous United States (where states share boundaries, so the same as Contiguous US), and Continental United States. I've always known it as Contiguous, hence the exclusion of Alaska, Hawaii, and FBO, and was not familiar with the term Continental US until I looked it up today.

I'm familiar with all three. But when I was growing up, I never heard of anything but the "Continental" definition. Of course, back then in the 1950's, there was no distinction to be drawn.

Except the guy telling us to stop being lazy and just fill out the customs form.

Weren't all the continents touching at that point? Living on Pangaea probably made things confusing.

Applies to those who are not doing so due to laziness...not those who are concerned about loss of funds or anyone who doesn't want to because of other concerns. Again, so many people here are so sensitive. jeez.

I didn't say anything, 'cuz I figured you didn't mean it the way it sounded..... but ya did come off as a bit of a controlling dickhead. I know that's not the case, but perception can be reality.....

I'd just let it go. No harm, no foul.

Well, yeah, but at least we didn't have to study geography. We knew Terry Pratchett was right.

You could have let it go too, but you couldn't help yourself and had to express your view in the only way you know how: by being the biggest *&^% *&^% (*&^% on this site.

Can you ever just not be a *&^%$? anyway, let's not derail yet another thread with your *&^%$ posts

and you should listen to your own advice for once: 'I'd just let it go. No harm, no foul.'

so sensitive. Jeez.

Man oh man. Everyone sit back, relax. @kk405 the way I read it he did not call you a name. He was merely stating that in writing you could be mistaken for being a "insert word here". He even stated that he knew it was not the case.

Anyway, Can't we all just get along a get back to chipping?!?!?!

The following comments come from someone who think s a few people on the forum are assholes even though I've been assured they are good guys, so I know this might not change your opinion any, but: just know BG is a good guy. Not trying to shit on you at all bud, just letting you know, he is really a good guy even if you got off on the wrong foot with him. He's definitely a good member to get to know.

Like I say, I understand if that means nothing to you when you have a forum/personality rift with somebody, and that's ok because I'm not trying too hard to change your mind, but reading BG's comment with no animosity I didn't read any shit posting in it. I think he was sincerely pointing out to you how it came across to people just to show you a different side, didn't seem like he was picking at scabs.

lol, figures i get called out by the guy i'm defending..... just too damn funny.

I am mis-quoting, using incorrect words and now misunderstanding the nuances of posters. I am definitely done with this thread.

Wow, not sure what's up but okay. Your right and we are all wrong. Whatever, we are all trying to help and not trying to mess with you.

Except maybe Dan, He is an a$$h073!

Just kidding Dan and good to see you policing the forum!

Spot on sir. I'll take you first in any fantasy draft at a meetup based on live villain reads alone.

 

[David O]

I really stirred the hornets nest on this one lol.

I still don't understand the why a company in the US wouldn't ship to Alaska. Just giving up money imo.

See what you started Pat?

This is family, and family bickers. If our bonds aren't strong enough that one member can't call the other a dick, then why the hell do we spend so much time on here?
