Nah, your site is the same. Here's my problem for the day, but it's a variation on a common problem I keep having these days. I want to know what it costs to ship freight to Peru. So, I input ship freight peru and the uppermost gazillion hits are various websites for virtual companies that clearly exist only on the Internet as a way of scooping up my business, laying it off on people who do the real work, and taking a cut. As another example, one that I spent many an hour wading through, cork flooring, before I finally peeled it back to the real people who really sell the real cork, not just virtual companies. I commend the entrepreneurial spirit of the people who set up these virtual companies, but I want to deal with brick-and-board people who go to work in actual offices, and not in their pajamas. I have nothing against Pajamahideen, indeed I am one, but I've got a real brick-and-board office where I can be held accountable, too.
