The Gift That Keeps Not Giving

Posted by Helen Killer 5 comments

Wow, that is some inviting package, don’t you think? A gold foil box you’d get at Rite Aid, topped off with some recycled ribbon from a Hickory Farms gift tower. We can only hope there’s something equally magical inside, like a free desk calendar from Herb’s Volvo.

that looks like a Nordstrom’s box, even. So you can buy this box for 50 cents, put your stupid crap in it, and fool your recipient into thinking you got them something theoretically classy.

I wonder if they’ve figured out yet that it is costing them more than 50 cents to list that item.

Etsy listing fee of 20 cents plus 3.5% = 22; PayPal fee 30 cents plus 2.9% = 31 cents; Total = 53 cents (perhaps 52 cents if the rounding is generous). So unless they are screwing the buyer on shipping fees, this seller is a complete dolt.

Ya know, I work at Rite Aid and frankly that seems a bit tacky even for us.

*blink*

That’s the best they could come up with for wrapping, really? I’m thinking either extremely poor tastes or they just don’t care. Or, maybe they’re easily distracted by shiny things.

I think the Unibomber put more thought, time and energy into his parcels then this schmo…
