A few weeks ago, I received a shower wand kit.

Today I received Plastic Mouse/Rat traps.

I don't need either.

Just more Mopar parts.   :D

Amazon is pure evil , it is slowly [not so slowly] taking over the world , just say no !

I could donate it, send it back, (hassle) or give it away.

Anybody need rat traps and a shower wand?

So your info is out there being used in another country.  interesting.  Kinda crappy.  But maybe you will get a ton more stuff.

Maybe, you should order a mopar part from amazon and maybe someone in the mopar world will brush you with mopar junk.

I bought some Cat wand feather teaser toys on ebay. Shipped from China.
Zyzzy goes thru toys like crazy.

Anyway, since then, it seemed like that might be why.

And Ebay isn't much better. I was about to pop for some LEDs from China because I was filtering by free shipping. Only at checkout did I see there was 18% tax added. A lesson for us all to not be so quick on the click to pay button.

Trust me..... shipping is never "free"

A friend had two ads for same product on eBay. $3 with $1 shipping or $4 and free shipping. The " free " shipping one got more hits.

Ended up donating them to Goodwill.
Gave 3 of 6 Rat traps to my friend who has a shop near downtown San Jose.

Today's brushing item received: Portable garment steamer.

To remove wrinkles on your clothes.

I actually could need this like for business trips.

Hey this thread might get longer at this rate of stuff arriving.

Things I don't want are up for grabs.
