My first experience...
I just won my first auction house item. I definitely underestimated the shipping... Lot of 14 raw will cost me $12.90 plus insurance. This actually was revised down from around $17 when I previewed the invoice before receiving via email. I believe it's shipping via FedEx, but still seems like a lot; first class mail would be half of that. My next bid with any auction house will factor this in... Which only hurts the consignor.
If the house knows within one day of close what the shipping for a single lot is, why can't they include that in the listing? Obviously insurance (listed separately in my invoice) depends on hammer price and multiple lots should ship for less.
