To my friend in Warsaw, Poland:
Today the U.S Post Office called to inform me the box with your seat in it is too large for International Shipment; I will be refunded the $189.16 Dollars I paid.
I then picked up the box and took it to United Parcel Service, UPS. The shipping fee, to Warsaw Poland is $589.00., so I brought the box back home.
The handle bars only cost about $75.00 to ship and I assumed the seat wouldn’t be very much more.
To pay $589.00 Dollars to ship a $150.00 seat does not make good sense.
I am expecting my surprise present some time this week. I will, of course, return it to you and if you send a personal email with your out of pocket expenses I will include that amount with the return. OR, if you prefer tell me your total cost, I will keep the surprise present and reimburse you for its cost and your out of pocket expenses as well.
I’m sorry this was a good idea that didn’t work, but I assure you I will reimburse you for your costs incurred, and I apologize for your inconvenience.
The next time I’ll investigate shipping first and make sure the U. S. Post Office will accept the shipping container.
