Ebay question- combined shipping

[kailes2872]

I have bought a lot from him as he does a lot of set breaks for 50's and 60's topps and I have been able to fill some holes. One time, I bought a card and immediately paid. I then found two additional that ended the next day.

I sent him an email asking if he could wait and ship them together and I could save on shipping if I happen to win the other two - even though it was my fault that I paid immediately.

He told me that it would be no problem and wished me luck on the other auctions.

The next day, I won the other auctions and kept waiting for an invoice to reflect 0 in shipping as he would combine them. I sent him an email reminding him and he zero'd it out and sent it to me.

The next day, I received the first card without the other two. Two days later, the other two cards arrived. So, even though it was my fault, he allowed me to combine. Then, (because I am guessing that he has other packing, shipping, etc.) it sent out - but he still ate the shipping costs of the other two.

So, I have nothing but good things to say about him. It did take a few hours to get a response and I thought, for a while, that I would have to pay shipping when he had told me that he would send them together (and my max bid reflected this projected savings) - but in the end, he held to his word, even though it cost him.
