FedEx is on crack!

So I FINALLY have all my visa documents ready to send to Korea! Yay, I was totally psyched this morning...I went and picked up my apostille's! I'm ready to go! I go to FedEx after work all excited to finally be rid of all this paperwork. I fill out all the information I need and bring it to the not-so-nice looking lady behind the counter. She asks me how much the documents are worth...how much are they worth??? With all the b.s. I had to go through just to be standing where I am standing right now...how much??? I told her they were worth MORE THAN MY LIFE! "I need a dollar amount, dear," she says to me in an unamused voice. So I add the numbers up in my head...let's see.
$20 for passport photos, $75 for a new passport, $25 for the background check, $5 for the fingerprints to get the letter of good conduct which is not accepted by korean immigration; but i should keep anyway, and $40 for 2 apostille's. Not to mention all the crazy mental anguish I've gone through in these past few months trying to acquire all of this paperwork.

Screw it...I tell her $50 and am done with it. I don't care, this stuff is finally going to be out of my hands!!!!

Once again, Tricia is so naive.

Guess how much FedEx is charging me to send a package that weighs .55 lbs. Come on...give it a guess. $25?? Nope. $40? Nope. $50????????? Oh no no no...imagine my surprise when the lady tells me $76!!!!!!!!!!!!! "I'm sorry, I just hallucinated. What???" "$76?? That's a lot of money!" Then the lady says "Well, DEAR (this was emphasized very rudely) it's going very far!." Gggrrrr....I brought $60 thinking I'd have plenty to spare when I went to Target next.

So, I am still stuck with my paperwork. Hopefully, I will make it back to FedEx tomorrow morning before work. If ya ask me, this should be labeled as highway robbery...asboFUCKINGlutely ridiculous!

hmmm hmmm...
blahness
Love you all!

  1. Wow, that's a lot of $$$. I got my passport photos from Walgreens for just $7. The passport itself was $97. This was 2 years ago. When my passport arrived they got my dob wrong. It was at a time when they were extremely busy. I went back to the post office and gave it back, I was pissed. They FedEx it back to me real fast!
