Default Shipping and handling

Posted By: Tim Newcomb

Hi Scott (Gaynor),

Though runscott's sarcasm was labored (sorry Scott), I know many of us really don't think $6 is all that reasonable for s/h, not in a case where a card valued less than $200 could be shipped for less than a dollar in postage. (If a card needs to be insured for a good bit, that's a totally different story.)

The items I've bought from you have usually been groups of cards, which cost a bit more to pack and ship properly, so I've never had any problem with what you charged. Also, I know your shipping costs are clearly stated up front, and it's your prerogative to set those rates. In other words, you are nowhere near the worst offender.

BUT, I don't see why you should feel so comfortable using s/h as a "profit center."

Having heard that, I'll definitely be bidding a little less on your items from now on than I would have before, and this isn't personal, it's just what I'd do with any seller who had raised postage rates.

Regards to all,

Tim Newcomb
