Fedex

Posted in Old blogger by Twenty Major on January 26th, 2007

I recently bought some RAM from the US for my ‘puter and it was delivered via Fedex. No problemo.

A few days later I got a letter from Fedex saying I owed them €22 because of duty. I ignored the letter. Then they sent me another letter asking me to please pay the €22. I ignored that one too.

This morning received a letter from a debt collection agency requesting that I make payment immediately or they will not hesitate to commence with ‘formal proceedings’.

Now, I know a veiled threat when I see one. Can you believe a reputable company like Fedex is threatening to send large men around to my house armed with bicycle chains and knuckle dusters so they can duff me up and get me to pay the €22 I owe? I am outraged. It’s scandalous.

This lot would have me beaten to a pulp for the sake of €22 just so they can use me as an example to anyone else who has fallen behind on their payments.

And what a load of shite the €22 is anyway. I bought it fair and square, paid the full price, and they want more because the government says they had to pay this ‘duty’. You realise what that means, don’t you?

Yes, it’s the Irish government who are giving carte blanche to a courier company to batter Irish citizens who conscientiously object to these stealth taxes. Well, I’m not for moving.

I’ll take my beating like a man and then I’ll see you on the Joe Duffy show, you cunts. Bring it on.
