Last couple of things are have been about Gina's package of contraban stuck in customs and CRS (copier repair school).

Gina needs to send the copier repairman to customs....make 'em forget all about that package. Works for the gal with the broken copier.

Gina....when you sent this UPS...they would've charged you a brokerage fee upfront, plus the shipping fee.

I have shipped out with UPS so many times, with no problems. After all this, I might never ship anything out again. I feel really bad, because my gift was due to be there over a week ago.

See ya had no problems with USPS with the smut books.....

That's why I always use shipping dept here. Let them deal with it.

LOL
Husband just came in, he said instead of sitting here being upset, why don't I go shopping. Now that's an idea!!!!
Not going to make me feel better, if I shop when I'm upset, I buy more, and still come back to the same problem. hmmmmm I should call a friend and go do lunch.
If I can't fix my problem, maybe I can fix her's.

That's just it, they didn't say anything about brokerage fees when I was there, it was the same as it always was, they pack it, ship it, and hand me the bill.

Then it isn't going anywhere until someone pays the brokerage fee. It's based on the dollar value of what you shipped. The ups site even gives you the amount. Call ups and ask if you can pay the brokerage fee by credit card...

The person I sent it to told Admin they would'nt charge a brokerage fee if it was a gift. Well it's a gift, why won't they send it on it's way.
I called and faxed them, so now I just sit here and wait for their butts to get in gear!

Hey Deb...does this sound like your Snickers Pie that you liked??

Snickers Cheesecake

Ingredients:
1 pk chocolate wafer cookies, 9 ounces
4 tb Butter, melted
3 pk cream cheese, (8-oz) softened
1 c Sugar
4 Eggs
1 tb Vanilla extract
2 c Heavy cream
1 1/2 lb Snack-size Snickers bars, cut into sixths

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, grind cookies into fine crumbs. Add butter and process until well blended. Press into bottom and about 1 inch up sides of a 9-1/2-or 10-inch springform pan. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar with an electic mixer on medium speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla and 1 cup cream; beat 3 to 4 minutes. Fold in 1-1/2 cups cut-up Snickers pieces. Turn into a crumb-lined pan. Bake 1 hour and 15 to 25 minutes, or until cheesecake is almost set but center still jiggles slightly. Let cool to room temperature. Sprinkle remaining candy pieces over top of cheesecake. Refrigerate at least 4 to 5 hours before serving. Run a knife around edge of pan to loosen cake and remove springform side of pan. Whip remaining 1 cup of cream until stiff and spoon a dollop over each slice.

Look BM...how 'bout you throw a couple of those pies together and I'll let you know.

I have made that first recipe....nope, not it. I have tried a thousand recipes....I don't even think it contains snickers bars, but it was heaven. Enough flirting and the bartender would give us free pie. Hmmm, maybe that's why they're gone....too many free pie servings.

Well then you google snickers pie because there are about 2 million of them! Of course most of them are the same!!
