Too late for Christmas

Item 120033049857.

Seems a bargain at first then you get:
AIRMAIL INTERNATIONALLY WILL BE 72.00 PONDS AND SURFACE MAIL 35.00 POUNDS. AIRMAIL CAN TAKE ANYTHING BETWEEN 1 AND 6 WEEKS, AND SURFACE MAIL ANYTHING BETWEEN 2 AND 8 MONTHS.
:eek:
I know it's a long way but 8 months? You could walk it!
(Sadly I worked that out before I said it. It's around 25 miles per day).

I particularly liked the irony in:
PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DELAYS IN THE MAIL.
Can I help?

    Surely it'd be much quicker and probably much cheaper just to use a courier service?

    What a con!
  • Is the airmail by pigeon carrier? lol

    Report it, it breaches the item must be available within 30 days rules.

    Also, the feedback is pretty poor as well.

    Soo
