For Reason’s Unknown

*sigh*
I was not expecting FedEx to quote me a rate of $173 to get AJ’s package to Korea. In my head, I thought it’d be about 30 bucks, but was willing to pay 50. Jennifer, the nice Korean FedEx girl recommended that I go down to the one-stop mail store and see if he could get me a better rate with another carrier.
So, I did. And got quoted the cheapest rate of $75. To send it by boat. With no tracking info, no confirmation, and a likely travel of 3 months. Right. I’ll have AJ home by then, but thanks.
So, now I dont know what to do. I’m so bummed. I worked so hard on getting it together and was really comforted by the thought that’d he have some stuff from us during this wait. After I get over being depressed, I may consider slimming the package down to something more reasonable, and hopefully cheaper, but we’ll see. AJ definitely wont fit in the outfits when he gets home, but I may have someone I can give them to…
*sigh* I dont like my baby being so far away.

I’m sorry! FedEx really stinks. Did you try UPS? I always use UPS and we ship DVDs to Korea. I know DHL goes places FedEx and UPS won’t. My best friend swears by them.
