Entitlement Mentality By Friends And Family Members by iod69779(op): 7:58am On Mar 16, 2021*

A friend decided to buy a laptop from the US so he asked me to help him buy and ship to him in Nigeria. He would then wire the money back to me. At first i asked why he could not buy it from Nigeria and he said they sold fakes there. That sounded strange because I assume there are reputable stores there in Nigeria, but anyway I order the laptop from Amazon, it arrives, I go to the courier to ship it because he preferred Fedex and not the cheaper shipping options available. The cost to ship was about $500.

Guess what? He told me he didn't budget for shipping and thought I would help him do that. He was telling me this at the point of shipping. What made this an unpleasant surprise was that I informed him right from start to add about $500 shipping cost to the cost of the laptop and compare that with the cost of the same laptop in Nigeria and he said he was fine with that.

I returned the laptop and got my full refund from Amazon.
