Now she’s telling me it arrived, but she only paid the mailman $44....😱

What's the point of that?
If it had been $1.75, I'd get it, but this.....😢

I think this is what happened:

You sent a package where you requested $38, you paid the shipping $5.75, and you specified that the buyer pays the C.O.D. amount ( $38 ) plus shipping ( $5.75 ). That's why she paid $44, which the mail carrier will bring straight to your door. You likely sold something for $33 and immediately factored in those $5.00 we usually subtract when sending things out.

For example, I sent a package to someone the other day. The item was worth $43, but they wanted C.O.D. I paid the shipping $8.00 and made sure the buyer pays the C.O.D. amount plus shipping. When the package hits their doorstep, they pay $51, and then the mail carrier hands that cash directly to me.

I hope that makes sense, or at least that I explained it clearly enough. 😁😁

Honestly, you can just walk into any local store and ask about the box. 🙄

As for the other thing, there’s already plenty written about it online, and you can head over to Yahoo News to find more details. 😉

Alright, thanks 😉

I need to send a small package over to Canada, and I'm not quite sure how to handle it. Does anyone know what the shipping rates look like for a package up to 2 kg? Also, how does tracking or proof of postage work when you're sending something internationally? If anyone has experience with this, please let me know. 🙂

Hey, I wouldn't bother with a home test just yet since it's probably too early to get an accurate result. A friend of mine didn't get a clear reading until about three weeks in. I think you'd just be throwing money away; you're better off heading to your doctor to get some real answers.

My period was pretty late this month too, so I went to see my OB-GYN since this has never happened to me before. Turns out everything is fine—no cysts, not pregnant, and I haven't even been under much stress lately. I’m not entirely sure why it was delayed, but it finally showed up three days after my appointment, which was about 14 days late. The doctor prescribed some medication, but I decided to wait another week to see if my body would just handle it on its own, and sure enough, it did. Maybe it's just this weird weather and the sudden warm snap; I think shifts like that can really mess with your whole system.
