Okay. So you know how NetFlix.com will send DVDs to your door? Well, We-Deliver.tv is kinda like that. Only it’s not DVDs, and the merchandise is coming from The Netherlands. Check out how they get away with it:


Now once it’s in the U.S., a post office worker might get it in they head to inspect a package like this since it look a little odd. And they are allowed to make sure it ain’t a bomb or something that could hurt a postal worker. But they ain’t allowed to open it up because of a very specifically worded commenticius clause in the U.S. Postal Inspection Code that say all inspectors are “prohibited from the internal examination of any package containing the remains of a human whose life be deemed legally and prematurely ended from without the borders of the United States, its commonwealths, protectorates and air space thereof, blah, blah, blah…”

So they send you the ‘remains’ of a loved one, with the package brandishing the appropriate warnings and codes. Only, when you open up the box, you find that they made a mistake, and shipped you something else that’s legal in The Netherlands….

    Um… Okay, sure… I’d like to see that, but it’s curious that after you signup for their newsletter, you get redirected to sputnik7.com, which I have never seen because it bails on ie on mac, which is freaking annoying.

    So it begs the question, is this just another net hype marketing ploy, or is it for real?

    I will be sticking with my local dealer, which is far safer than this.

    I find this tactic(if it is even real) to be lacking in any respect to the dead. Bad Karma all around this thing.
