>￡9,999 in-time delivery charge
亚马逊被曝天价快递费

24-year-old Danielle Long from Northern Ireland was stunned when Amazon wanted to charge her ￡9,999 for delivery so she would get her ￡4.99 gift in time for Christmas.
24岁的北爱尔兰女子丹妮尔·朗在亚马逊上为自己订购了一件4.99英镑(约合人民币45元)的圣诞礼物，但令她震惊的是，如果她希望礼物准时送达，竟需要支付9999英镑(约合人民币9万元)的天价快递费。

The standard delivery charge on the Nifogo Bedside Pocket - a holder for phones and tablets that clips onto your bed - was just ￡2.99. However, that would not arrive until Jan 11 at the earliest.
她选购的商品是Nifogo床头收纳挂袋，可以把手机和平板电脑装进去并挂在床边。这件商品的标准快递费只有2.99英镑(约合人民币27元)，但最早要到明年1月11日才能送达。

Amazon offered her next day delivery, for ￡9,999. But that was still a risk because it would arrive between Christmas Eve and Dec 27.
亚马逊提供了次日达送货服务，但费用为9999英镑。不过即便选择了次日达，货物还是有可能在平安夜和12月27日期间才能送达。

Long posted the hiked charges on Facebook. She quipped: "That's a tough one. I wish it was a joke, really wanted it before Christmas."
丹妮尔把天价快递费的事儿发到脸书上，她风趣地说道："这太难了。我希望这是亚马逊和我开的玩笑，我真心想在圣诞节前收到它。"

She later added: "I was shocked, but I found it funny. I don't know why the postage was so high. But I think it's from a secondary seller through Amazon."
随后她又补充道："当时我很震惊，但又觉得很好笑。我不明白为什么邮费会那么高。我想这件商品来自亚马逊第三方卖家。"
