Infowars

Is the UPS (United Parcel Service, which is partnered with the US Postal Service) waging a war of attrition against Infowars.com? As evidence I can show you snapshots from my experience with the UPS calculator located on the Infowars shop checkout page compared with the USPS own postage calculator.

This first screenshot shows the USPS price calculation for a 7oz parcel, which is about the weight of two DVDs plus a little for packaging, to be shipped from Austin, Texas to anywhere in Australia.




As you can see the most expensive quote is for a large parcel sent priority mail at $55.95. But a more logical choice for a package of this size would be to send it using first class international for only $6.48. Now this next screenshot shows the postage cost quoted by UPS for two DVDs purchased at the Infowars shop to be shipped to Australia.




The cost of shipping is quoted at $60.00 which is nearly TEN TIMES that of the USPS quote. Now there is another option for international users called UPS Worldwide Saver so lets take a look at the new shipping quote, which should be cheaper, shouldn't it?




Wow! The shipping quote has gone up to $81.06 to ship two DVDs from the US to Australia. I have purchased DVDs from Infowars in the past and the cost of shipping was, from memory, somewhere around fifteen dollars. So either I have made a drastic mistake somewhere or we have a clear cut case of corporate sabotage.


International sales for Infowars products must be down as many shoppers will simply just balk at this outrageous quote and go watch a low grade copy on YouTube or elsewhere.  I wish to support Alex Jones and the Infowars movement but at these prices I would be supporting the semi-government UPS corporation far, far more.
