Default Shipping and handling

Posted By: jay behrens

I hope everyone here that is bent out of shape about $5 or $6 for shipping is just as indignant when they order something from Lands End or something offered on TV. These places make Gaynor's shipping rates look cheap. Gaynor does this fulltime, unlike most of us who sell a few cards here and there, so everything he does as far as getting the product to the customer needs to get figured into how he is going to make a profit. You think these shipping pricesw are outrageous, try selling comics mail order. Once you get past a few comics, the price for shipping starts getting pretty steep very quickly. When I had my comic store, it wasn't unusual to sell a lot on eBay where the shipping was 50% or more than the cost of the lot. So be glad we collect something that doesn't incure some really serious shipping charges.
