A STORY:WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

[Tudo]

Some fellow countrymen of my wife ( vietnam ) traversed the country with some things.......and when they arrived told my wife they wanted another $4,000 on top of the $5,000 they agreed to, because it took longer and they were stuck in alabama for almost a week.


My Wife didn't see the item and so she left them there in the parking lot and told them she would have to get back to them as it's a lot of money with no notice.


Personally I would very much like to meet them but my Wife says she would prefer that I don't because she knows me too well I guess....doesn't want me to end up in jail.



What would you do? I am very annoyed

i'd tell them to go pound sand up their ass with the curved end of a clawhammer myself, unless they were bringing incredibly sentimentally valuable things that i owned. then, i'd tell LEO they were trying to blackmail me by holding out for more cash. i LIKE Alabama myself, & wish i was "stuck there" for a week...

Always simplify a problem before you try to solve it. So take "countrymen" out of the equation. This is a simple squeeze. But it's serious shit. Like pulling a gun on you serious. They may as well be mugging you.

Tell them since they changed their mind, you changed yours. Now you'll only give them $3,000 because they took too long.
when they complain,
Tell them you don't want it anymore but you'll take it off their hands for $2,500.

Now if it's personal stuff. Beat one or more with a piece of rebar. I mean pulverize a knee. Then take the "some things" for free.


If they can rip you off, you have the right to rip them off.

Years ago I was going out and got a call from a guy I knew to wait because he was coming over.
So I waited about an HOUR! (fucker). Dude shows up and asks how much for an elbow.
I said "2k."
"Give me a better price." HE was telling ME.
So "ok. 21."
"Hey that's more."
"Oh you mean better for you? Sorry. They only get better for me. Give me the fucking money." and I shoved the bag at him and stuck my hand out. He's luck I didn't slap the shit out of him.

Don't fuck around when they try to squeeze you.
Make it worth something for you, AND THEM, or there's no incentive for them to quit trying to fuck you.

Tell them to F off, and find a better way to do it. They will punt, because otherwise they are going to have to find plan B. Alabama doesn't play. Stuff is probably junk anyways.

It looks like AL is still on a lockdown. Out of state tags, a couple of guys who don't look like they are from around there, hanging around with no real reason to be there. Cops out looking for free donuts. trouble.

^^^This.
Don't let them push you around. But you push them around.
And leave them with their stuff if they are becoming 'unfriendly' and say you don't want it anymore.

This whole scenario is very dependant on many variables, not only what was being transported and the risk involved.

Any fence/mule I have known or known off in the past have always included a miscellaneous/emergency fund % in their original price so they should be covered anyway. Any hiccups along the way isn’t your problem*** and I strongly believe in being a man of your word; the price is the price.

*** That being said, if I plan on using them in the future I would consider an additional charge for their holdup, if product was received in good condition. This just helps for future potential work and keeps your name solid.

However, demanding an extra $4000 wouldn’t even be consideration. Sounds like they tried to take advantage of a woman on her own...

Most mules are paid a % or in full before delivery so I would hang tight on price or unfortunately resolve to violence. I would still pay the original $5000 after hurting them though, word is bond, don’t break yours for theirs.

You don't have to be big to strike first.

I made a lot of deliveries when I was a kid (14-18). I never once tried to squeeze someone, on either end, because I knew those guys never last and hell follows them.

(kicking dirt) I guess so. But I wouldn't like it one bit, so I'd give them one extra whack for that.

Hahaha. An extra whack is more than fair!

Violence brings one thing... more and more of the same.

I saw your post about trying to get into Florida too, looks like you’re having issues all around.

I would like to remind you that the US post office needs your support more than ever. Do your part to help

 

[h.h.]

I wouldn’t send my wife to a parking lot to meet strange men expecting money.

I WANNA KNOW WHAT THE FUCKING ITEM IS FIRST?! Am I the only one here?

Before you go beat up anyone or shoot em in the face, which I'm totally for usually..

But what if the item turns out to be like a signed copy of Ricky Martin's hit single "Living la Vida Loca", or a scrapbook of nascar driver pictures? I won't beat a fucking guy up for Ricky or nascar. So yea, the item.. What is it? Why would "some Vietnamese" guys travel across the country to deliver this stuff to your wife for 5 grand (split), WHEN THERE'S A PANDEMIC GOING ON?! Who's the victim here?

This whole thing stinks like the case of stolen cheese I solved just last week..

Details, I need details!
