Wisconsin Company Nasty To Soldier Serving in Iraq
Military.com and confirmation from snopes.com ^ | 19 January 2007 | booksbenji

Posted on 01/20/2007 10:58:33 PM PST by icwhatudo

A soldier based in Iraq got this response when inquiring as to whether or not the company ships overseas. He wanted to get the troops better gear to sleep on.

To Whom it may concern:

Do you ship to APO addresses?

I'm in the 1st Cavalry Division stationed in Iraq and we are trying to order some mats but we are looking for who ships to APO first.

SGT Hess,

We do not ship to APO addresses, and even if we did, we would NEVER ship to Iraq.

If you were sensible, you and your troops would pull out of Iraq.

What, coordinated, is the best thing to do here? I could send a "you-suck-I'll-never-patronize-you" missive, but that doesn't make them HURT enough.

Mark Belling, the afternoon host at WISN AM 1130 is on the case attempting to track down the people who own this company.

He says thart he may drive to West Allis and see what's at the listed address in in that town.

WISN is one of the best streams on the Internet: except Jay Weber comes on too early for those of us on the Left Coast.

Belling is good, too. A nice Hannity alternative.

Start with last year's Fed tax returns and toss out their tax ID#, it's public.

Employee documentation on record?

Shipping permits as they apply.

Any tax liens on the building (s) that they operate from?

Idiots aside, there are a lot of companies that don't ship to APO addresses, even in Europe. Many of them ship with UPS and not the USPS and mailrooms don't receive UPS.

A lt of us in Germany use ship around services to get our goods.

I'm starting to get the feeling that that address stops all business five times a day.

These folks deserve a denial-of service attack. But that would be wrong.

Not shipping to APO's is really not the issue here. If the message had simply been "I'm sorry, we do not provide that service" (see libs, it's THAT easy) no ruckus would ensue.

Reality is, one idiot can bring down a company handily with a misplaced word to a potential contract.

Getting this information to their customers IS a (moral and legal) denial-of-service attack.

I read the article. I am aware of the issue. I acknowledged the issue in my post when I stated "Idiots aside..."

My post was for educational purposes intended to let people know some of the issues we have being assigned overseas.
