Pooch mail: Woman Sends A Dog by Snail Mail!
 |
| Poopoo reflects on his experience in his dark box of doom in an interview with CNN. |
A Minneapolis woman, Stacy Champion, took USPS's "If it fits, it ships ~ Anywhere in the country for just one low rate" out of context when she decided to send a 4 month old puppy via air mail to her son for his birthday. It was to be an epic journey for Poopoo who was due to arrive in Atlanta by air within three days. Stacy included a survival kit which consisted of water bottles and holes poked into the side box for air. Giving full credit where it's due, Stacy paid a premium for Priority Mail paying $22 as opposed to using Regular Sh@t Happens Mail.
When asked about the contents of the box, she told USPS that it was a Toy Robot in hopes that they would treat it more delicately. Thankfully, officials flagged the package and rescued Poopoo from probable death and Stacy's son from the life long trauma caused by receiving what would likely have been a black, fluffy corpse (especially after being handled by USPS packers who I still believe kick field goals with packages during breaks).
Poopoo is currently with animal control awaiting a new home. Why did Stacy Champion decide to ship a dog? She argues that USPS have no disclaimer stating what should be shipped and what shouldn't be shipped and I totally agree with her!
If they do not state that I can't ship my baby to my grandmother in Pakistan, I HAVE to assume its allowed right?
