File Under Ugh

I got in a little spat with an eBay seller today.  I bought two iPods from them, for which they insist on charging 12.90 a piece for shipping and won't combine.  Which is fine, but they said they ship to the "United States" only after I paid, they tell me (and yeah, it was on the listing but int he fine print at the bottom) that when they say "United States" they actually mean "United States minus Hawaii, Alaska, APOs, FPOs, and US territories".

I explained the confusing nature of their listing but told them to ship to my parents.  But they were snippy and I was snippy and then I realized that my parents are actually leaving for Minnesota for a week on Saturday.  I guess I'll just see what happens.  Hopefully, UPS will just leave the packages for my parents.
