I received this response from the auction, it looks like Fed Ex is a poor choice for shipping small items. I appreciate working with the customer and plan on continuing to bid on their auctions.
"My system quotes fedex ground with residential delivery and signature required and if you quote the cost on fedex, you'll see I'm not making a thing. That being said, I'll gladly ship it priority with signature confirmation....I have to have that much to comply with my insurance policy. If you'd like to take $5 off your bill, I'll ship it USPS priority and change it in my system. Thanks and I hope to keep you as a buyer; it's never my goal to end a transaction badly."
Bottom line for me in this case, if an auction house is using Fed Ex, you might want to look into cheaper alternatives. For my self USPS is much better to have delivered to me personally over FedEX and UPS, where they drop off packages with no one being home. Many of us have shipped cards and know what actual cost is thru the USPS and many times this is the cheapest route. Unneeded expenses are good to avoid.
