RowdyRebel Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Ummmmm...NO! I will not "offset the climate impact of this shipment". Thanks for asking, but the fact that you're even considering this "extra" fee makes me want to use FedEx or the USPS. This PC BS has got to end... /rant Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBullDog Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I haven't seen that yet when I ordered things online. What site was that from? I wonder how the liberal shipping differs from standard shipping. Does the driver wear even shorter shorts due to rising temperatures? If the climate is of such great concern to UPS, why don't they slow their drivers down to save fuel. Those trucks must have a 2 position throttle, wide open and off. On a side note: The Fed-Ex delivery guy has been driving a UHaul van lately. Before that it was an unmarked hi-cube van. Is Fed-ex going broke or something?

Green Dash Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It seems to me that the owner of the equipment used in transport should be responsible for offsetting the climate impact of that shipment.What a bunch of BS. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 My new phone was shipped through Fed-ex and delivered by the USPS. I've seen that a lot with the USPS delivering UPS packages. I once tracked a package that went from UPS 20 miles away, to my post office 1.5 miles away, and back to the UPS facility-all in one day. The impact on the climate from shipping my 4 NGK spark plugs was devastating. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RowdyRebel Posted October 6, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2015 "Climate change" is nothing more than a venue liberals use to push the uneducated and miseducated alike into willingly going against their own well being by yielding liberty, economic prosperity, domestic comfort, and their ability to pursue happiness all in an effort to stop something we cannot stop. The climate has been changing since the dawn of time. At one point, it was warm enough that cold-blooded reptiles ruled the planet. Then it cooled off and much of this continent was covered by ice. And then the ice melted. All of this happened prior to humans placing a very large footprint upon the earth. Who's to say what the "optimum" temperature should be? Ask the dinosaurs and "global warming" would be a great thing. Ask the wooly mammoth and you'd get a different answer. Hell, now they are saying water used to flow on Mars...until some catastrophic change in the climate occurred there. Funny thing is, we haven't been there yet to cause any catastrophic change to the climate...so how did it happen? Same way it has ALWAYS happened here...variations in solar activity. More energy given off by the sun leads to warmer temperatures...and decreases lead to cooler years. It really isn't any more complicated than that. Hell, the weather man has a hard enough time accurately predicting tomorrow's weather...and yet people believe politicians about what the weather will be like 50-100 years from now? Al Gore and folks like him have made MILLIONS off this scam...all the while living it up using more fossil fuels in a single day than most will use in a year, whether they are flying around in a private jet, moving around with their entourage in a fleet of SUV's, or just keeping the lights on in a ridiculously huge estate. If you want to preach about how mankind is killing the planet, then don't be a hypocrite and practice what you preach. I enjoy breathing clean air and drinking clean water as much as the next person...but don't spit on me and tell me it's raining. Mankind has nothing to do with "climate change"...it's going to change whether we're here or not, no matter what we do. Ever wonder how the same pollution that was going to plunge us into the next ice age back in the 70's suddenly was going to cook us off the face of the earth in the 90's? We ain't got a damn thing to do with the climate, so don't ask me to dig deeper into my pockets to "offset" something in order to line the pockets of hypocrites. 5 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Quickfarms Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I received a package today that was scheduled to be here on Wednesday. It was shipped buy UPS and delivered by USPS. Yes shipped by brown and delivered by white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyRebel Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 ...and to think all I wanted was a damn fitting for a 4L80 transmission cooler line. Ordered it from Jegs...they cancelled "backorder/discontinued" and refunded me $18. Called the local Chevy dealer and they found 4 up in NYC...which was fine because I only need 1 of them. $27 for the same damn fitting Jegs was supposed to sell me for $18 plus another $28 to have it shipped UPS because they didn't want to do the $5 "if it fits, it ships" USPS option. Hell, a padded envelope and a first class stamp would probably get it to me...so when I saw that "extra" fee option, it just rubbed me the wrong way. Friggin' corporations buy into the crap spewed by these left wing nut jobs...but then at least it remains an option (for now, anyway). I'd bet dollars to donuts that the extra fee just goes straight to profits. Hell, it really ain't a bad idea...line your own pocket by letting the nut jobs empty theirs THINKING they are "saving the planet". They get to feel good and you get their money. Those who know better can choose not to pay the fee. Now I'm curious how many people actually click that option to be charged more?

RowdyRebel Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 ...and I actually prefer USPS, where my stuff stays securely locked up at the post office until I get there to pick it up rather than sitting on the porch out in the rain until I realize it's out there. Half the time they don't even knock. Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I used to ship a lot of small parts and trim out UPS until they started to hit me with Fuel Surcharges, Carbon Tax surcharge and a different fee for business or residential delivery. I use the USPS Click and Ship and even get the USPS to pick the package up from me for no charge. Big Brown is only a turd to me.
