Where do auction houses come up with their shipping charges?

100% agree there are issues getting cards up here and I appreciate those who do. The money order is a US cheque with no fees as I have used them before so no issue there, but $30 is steep as most BST cards even with insurance are $10-$15. I'll gladly pay it to feed the addiction but I do feel it's not an accurate rate. Cheers.

Hi, I just wanted to give kudos to Steve at Collect Auctions. I had my first purchase with him and had concerns with the shipping rate (addressed above). I had emailed him with my concern and we worked out using USPS instead of FedEx and it was $6 less to ship. It is nice to see that there are people willing to work with you if you just bring it to there attention.

I look forward to his coming auctions.

One other note for those auction houses that use strictly UPS or FedEx. The cost of shipping one or 2 cards is much less expensive using USPS and would go a long ways towards customer dissatisfaction on shipping if used.
