Inocent ranting.....

My answer to a customer about the US$ and shipping times of parcels from Germany to the US:

They don't lose those packages - I think! I am sure that they get held up in customs (like you were going to build a bomb from doll shoes and dresses or boost growth to certain body parts by inhaling or consuming doll shoes and dresses). Then after about 6 weeks when they run out of shelf space in customs they come across a package with said contents and think - it's only dolly stuff, no one will miss it and chuck it in the garbage.

Oh the German govt...... I could really get all riled up talking about the sh@§$! they dish out!

Don't worry about the US$ - not yet. The Americans are pros at bouncing back after bad news. If this was not the case they would never have discovered the west coast and Hollywood would be outside of New York!!

Here on the other hand, a small glitch makes consumers hold on to their wallets for dear life. Then they get old and senile, get stuck in homes, the money they saved so dearly gets spent on undefinable expenses for medicine and care. Then when the bank account and savings are all gone - woops the old man/woman dies in their sleep!

Please don't quote me. I am a Dutch citizen living in Germany - born and raised in Asia, International schooling, ties with Indonesia and America - if the German govt. gets wind of my rebellious ranting they might just let me disappear for good!
