I just sent $20 SBD to @ortigas100 in Africa so he can locally buy USB battery bank charger + Update on Solar Charger Shiping test to Ghana, Fedex cost $200 so had to cancel that, and couldnt get to USPS in time so I will try again in AM! I won't give up!

Quick Update on Solar Power USB battry charger and my attempt to ship them to Ghana in Africa and why I just sent @ortigas100 $20SBD so he can locally try to find himself a USB battery charger while we get this sorted out, to help him out while he waits for our packages of chargers: So I left to go to Fedex thinking it would be better than USPS, and after finding out I couldn't ship from the ebay seller directly to Ghana, so I walkd to fedex store

(here is my cat Lyra, wanted to get her in the shot of my leaving for the walk to Fedex Kinkos)

And here is me at Fedex Kinkos

And here is me inside thinking i was almost finished....I was so naiive...

Here is me after they told me that it would cost $200 just to send the tiny package to Ghana from USA...and we cant justiofy spending $200 to ship $20 worth of stuff lol we can use USPS tho!

Also Fedex said I can't send to a PO Box " and the steemit user @ortigas100 I am sending the two solar chargers to sent me an address which I dont know if its a PO box or not it has "Box T.A." in it, but another man in front of me was trying to send a tablet computer to Africa and was also having trouble with customs type issues, synchronicity! I will take that as a sign as to keep going, that we are almost there and we will find ways to get electronics to Africa easy if we just keep trying!

here is me trying to get to USPS in time:

And it was mostly closed the machine was still available and it did say international available but I didnt have access to the special boxes I would have needed and to make sure it works right I will just wait till the morning BUT now that I KNOW and have my bitpay card loaded and ready I will be able to do it fast and get it done in the AM

( I know I know i keep saying that but hey these photos should show that I tried! And I will get them sent in the morning using USPS which will take longer but will only be like $20 instead of $200 and since this has taken so long, I show a sign of good faith to share some of this SBD Ive been making off posts related to this subject, and send @ortigas100 some SBD or BTC, at least enough to cover the cost of a portable USB battery bank, USB battery phone charger , which he can just buy in his local area, because I am pretty sure he will find them for sale locally just not with a solar panel, but just having the battery bank is just as useful, and if they are cheap I will send him enough to buy two or three so he can have multiple days worth of electricity for his phone or tablet!

(I feel i should share with him some of the profit off my posts related to the USB battery chargers ive made recently since I feel bad that I have to wait another day to try sending these chargers, so he can go buy a battery bank locally so he doesn't have to wait any longer! It would be great to help local STORE owners in Nigeria and Ghana fully stocks with bulk orders of high quality battery banks and solar powered battery banks! @stellabelle mentioned how we can get Nigerian online bitcoin retailer shopnow.ng to help with this project! Africans will have an easier time having stuff shipped from African online retailers. Let's get it so we can just send people in Ghana and Nigeria the Steem or SBD or bitcoin and they can use it to buy stuff locally or have it shipped from within Africa, intra African e commerce
!

We all get to learn about international addresses and how shipping works and I am sure the USPS shipping price to Ghana will ONLY be around $10 of even that, and it will be no problem!

Maybe if we had like 100 chargers we could justify spending $200 but yeah that is crazy that Fedex expects people to pay that much but hey maybe its just expensive! But maybe we can build a Blockchain suply chain shiping service that can be like Blockchain fedex maybe use everyday travelers like Uber to deliver packages with airline passengers! Something like the Sharing Economy of Airbnb and uber but for renting out your AIRLINE luggage space WOW I thought this up just now, googled it, and already found a service called AIRMULE which does exactly this offering the chance for people to get packages delivered fast by taking a ride in peoples luggage and the people get paid to rent out their empty luggage space!!!!! Allowing people to get paid to travel like private air couriers but managed by an app etc

So maybe we can use this problem to find new solutions to worldwide shipping while were at it! Imagine if steemit had its own Airforce..I mean airfleet heh a fleet of Private Jets and uber cars and hotel rooms, hah ok well before that imagine decentralized shipping programs like this! I still think solar powered drone airships are viable when we make them cheap enough and it ends up being so cheap to ship anywhere! or imagine our own fleet of solar powered semi submersibles that can go through any storm and go from East or West coast of the US and use little electric motors or even a sail to ship anything to any port on Earth! So many ways for us to do blockchain shipping but anyway for $200 I told fedex I might as well fly to Ghana myself and just deliver the solar chargers in person! Hmm not a bad idea actually...soon we will all come to Africa when we have enough money and can make steemit posts to pay for the journey and do A LOT of good we will go there to do publicity for steemit AND to vlog in Africa and show off Ghana and Nigeria! We will get professional vloggers to show them how to use the African setting for golden vlogging material!

(Check my recent post about Africa and the potential to Vlog in Africa being a pure gold mine of content and adventure! https://steemit.com/steemit/@ackza/walking-over-to-usps-today-to-ship-2-usb-solar-battery-chargers-to-ortigas100-in-africa-help-me-and-stellabelle-send-10-000 Africans can emerge inside Africa as home grown Vloggers showing off the adventure nd excitement of an African Life documented over youtube!

One thing is for sure, since there has been so much of a delay, I am going to just send @ortigas100 some SBD or even some bitcoin if that makes it easier, so he can just get some cash and buy himself a battry bank or USB charger in his local town or next time he's in a big city and ill send him enough to cover the cost knowing that it may end up being expensive, but Id like to show that Im sharing some of the steem im getting off posts like this with him and others who may be able to buy a battery bank for themselves locally! OK I just got a payment from one of my post from 7 days ago so I am sending 20 SBD to 2 @ortigas100 now!

(proof I just sent the money to him, i felt bad this is taking so long and I also want to share some of the money I have made off recent posts about this, and so I hope this shows I really do want to help peopel and i just want to make sure people don't assume i am just keeping this all for myself! )

(Bonus preview of my next post showing some photos I took of mygarden while going outside today)

Next post will show some cool gardening photos of my tropical backyard and some Outdoor grow updates!
