Cleared for Takeoff
When I went to Miami for Christmas I only took a very small carry
on bag so my fiancee was going to ship back my presents for me.
One of those presents was a bottle of cologne her daughter got me.
So she goes to FedEx and they had a **** fit and made her open the
box and take out the cologne and said it was too dangerous
to ship FedEx. So she couldn't ship a bottle of cologne.
So I called FedEx to see what was going on. Got some gal that judging
from her demeanor and accent was one of those McD's rejects that used
to do airport security. Sure enough she said. Cologne has alcohol in it
and so it's too dangerous to ship FedEx. She told me how if a terrorist
got hold of that they could really cause trouble. I asked her if terrorists
were prowling around on their airplanes in the cargo containers. I told
her I could put it in my suitcase and take it as checked baggage. She
said to ship it FedEx it would have to go FedEx Ground and would have
to be packed and the hazardous material paperwork completed by someone
trained and certified for that. All for a bottle of men's cologne? Yup.
Now I don't use FedEx because of a couple incidents in the past, and
this sure will preclude my shipping anything via them for work or personal
stuff.
Is this for real???
