Personally I would have been more concerned with how the shipper intended to recover the package.
Might have been a bit more sensible to allow it to ship then tracked it.
ETA Just worked it out, whoever paid $2,000,000 for 16k got a really, really st deal.

Apparently, Commodities are down. biggrin

As to recovering the package, it is thought that it was incorrectly addressed. Then again, seeing how scummy the U.N. can be, maybe not.

Should of stuck a couple of diplomatic stickers on it, I am sure a few mates in the UN would have lent the sender some.

You do realise they're probably estimating it at some ridicuously overinflated 'street price'?

Thus leaving out the UN discount.

Doesn't surprise me at all.

Having lived in Thailand for 3 years I've met some pretty disgusting specimens of human beings, but none ever have, or hopefully ever will eclipse the UN flunky I met in Vientiane, Laos. Charged with clearing Vietnam war era land mines in the north east of the country he had visited the area precisely zero times in his 2 year posting there, had no knowledge of the country he was staying in, let alone the area he was supposed to be helping. He did however have an encyclopedic knowledge of where to buy opium, and which karaoke bars were well stocked with underage girls.

A well meant but ultimately pointless organisation whose very idea whose very reason for being has been disproved by events. The sad offshoot of this is that is hasn't disappeared into obscurity but rather it has become a sick club for bright but degenerate graduates with no shame.

Well described Sir.
