Gotta love automation, it’s governed by machines and not human common sense.
Then again, a machine is as smart as its creator and programmer, and a check of 42 cents that was mailed off by GoDaddy’s Afternic service is the proof of that.
Domain investor Simonas Balnys, displayed his personal check of $0.42 with pride, pointing out that it cost $1.28 to mail it to Lithuania – more than three times the check’s amount!
Simonas isn’t even quite sure what the GoDaddy / Afternic is all about, as the reference on it is about “December 2013 ANCP Commission.”
Anyone who has a clue what the $0.42 is about, is more than welcome to email Simonas.
No snail mail, please. 😀
A check from GoDaddy for the amount of $0.42 cost $1.28 to mail.
Over the past year I’ve gotten ~$1.50 commission checks every 3 months. It cost them $1.15 to mail to me in Okinawa, Japan.
Suffice it to say, they were rotated as mighty fine coasters once folded.
I couldn’t cash them and it wasn’t worth my time or money to ship back to the States to have someone with POA to cash them. 😉
Feel free to add this nonsense of shipping being $1.15, it not being an automated error and the check in the amount of $4.69 not only being signed off by 1 person, but 2. (My last check)
I didn’t think images were approved.
