Your Item Was Shipped



I believe only one package was received, which contained the sweatshirt. If they never left, I'd like to take them off your hands, but if not, lets leave it at that.
What an rotten system we are a part of! You shouldn't have to be responsible for the failure of the post office to deliver an item or my own ineptitude, and its unfair to you to have to shoulder the cost of the loss! I hope the work you do brings you some joy, I doubt I could bear your unfair suffering. Fie Ebay! Their profit and power can only come as a product of your and my collective loss.
They inflict suffering knowingly, or half knowing, blind to the injustice they inflict.
Is the world a better place in all our efforts to make it according to our will? Our ancestors danced for rain in times of drought. In famine and plenty we still danced in hopes of the shadows of clouds. Today we still dance in the eternal shadow of the corporate empires. The rain of profit and drought of loss. What does a dollar really cost?
