Just as a helpful offering, we bought our truck as a year-old spec model from the Ford dealer in Richmond, still new with low mileage, in 2006 (it's a...
I don't read the article as attracting retirees from the States. I read it as this is retirement housing available to retired government employees, t...
There are lots of other properties the GVI owns that would be more appropriate. Heck there are sites that could be bulldozed/renovated and used vs. n...
Regarding VI Cargo prices, I ordered a swimming pool pump on-line on July 19. VI Cargo called me on July 24 and said they needed a copy of the invoice...
It will be really hard for this to happen in this location. Shouldn't this discussion be Under the Coconut Tree?
Government employee retirement center in Coakley? Ugh. I don't like this. That's a beautiful and sensitive area.
We haven't used UPS much. More often we get stuff by FedEx. Neither company has ever had to send a package back for us. My main complaints are: They s...
The helpful clerk behind the counter told me about 8 months ago, "you know this all is cheaper if it comes in at once, even if it is more than one box...
Nope, these are all about 24x18x12, give or take a few inches. ETA: One may be quite a bit smaller since it's just one book. I'll pick them up tomo...
Alana, you're on STT, right?
Latest VI Cargo charge (ordered 10 days ago, arrived today) - 3 boxes for $11.01, average $3.67 per box.

Yes, it's the import fees. We bought a laptop that came to our Mailbox store last year via UPS, and surprise surprise, they wouldn't accept it and it...
I'm definitely using Paradise next time to see. VI Cargo has been disorganized for a few weeks now. It hasn't always been like that. Hopefully they'll...
