Default Shipping prices from Auction companies

Posted By: Jim Clarke

I know everyone reads these boards and hope this will not hurt me by saying this. What's up with MASTRO shipping prices! I recieved both Lipset and Mastro's invoices today in the mail. In Lipset, I won 8 lots valued at 22,431.40 with nothing larger than a 19th century cabinet and the shipping was 20.00. In Mastro, I won 5 lots valued at 15,078.66 with nothing larger than a cabinet and the shipping was 110.26? I think Mastro should not look at shipping as a revenue stream for the auction. Many companies use an outside insurance carrier to insure packages that go priority mail without paying all the HIGH insurance premiums. When I saw the shipping charge I felt like a light-weight prize fighter that just won the title and I had to go get my own ice after the bout to put on my bruises.
