Global shipping
In todays globalized economy we trade more and more with each other which means that more and more goods is being shipped back and forth around the globe.
Sometimes this goes according to plans and sometimes not.
This week I am quite annoyed with UPS since they just proved they are bad, running a service with shady and dishonest terms. why?
When making a purchase on a international webshop i had to use them - No problems I though since their fee was said to include pickup, customs clearance and delivery. Unfortunately and very dishonestly UPS then after I reciveed the package added a few new fees since according to their representatives "customs clearance doesn't mean taking care of clearing the customs". How anyone would know the difference is unknown. Also unknown is how the extra fees are calculated since i am still to find info on that. I find the whole thing fraudulent and will not use UPS anymore or webshops that force me to use them.
About the image - this is Barcelona´s container port.
You can see more of my photos from Barcelona in my Spain set
You should watch this Large On Black since that brings out more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background and a lot of the finer details are lost in this small format.
