My shipping cost was $22.55...not bad for 2 complete topps sets.

My shipping costs were a shade under $30 for 11 PSA graded cards.

$62 to ship a couple cards. Love the N162 Brouthers

Let me get this down: $19.86 to ship a single $300 item? Oh, wait! I got a better idea. Instead of that, how about I send you a hobo's **** cheese?

In the mean time and as usual, go **** yourself.

Went way cheap at 19k. A SGC 50 a couple yrs back went for 52k. Someone stole this!

That same card sold in a B&L auction for 20k. I think it's overgraded. The stain detracts from the card.

If cards were expenxive , not excessive. Joe

As you can see from my posts, I think everyone should consider the insurance and weight of cards.

As the owner of the software company that powers Legendary's web site and shipping calculator, I can tell you accurately, how it is done.

We base the shipping fee based on three data points;

1. weight,
2. value of the invoice
3. zip code of the ship to address.

Once, those data points are supplied, our software bases the shipping costs by going to the shippers database (USPS, DHL, UPS or FedEx). Legendary will then provide to the shipper the method of shipment (i.e. For FedEx it may be Next Day overnight or Ground by UPS). All of this is done automatically, and using actual shipping costs.

I hope this helps and, if the shipping costs are too high, I urge you to call Legendary and ask them to have a look at the issue as they have always been reasonable when approached.

Interesting and helpful information. Thank you for posting that!

Bob,

Thanks for the explanation but I think people rather come here and bitch as opposed to trying to fix what they do not like. No fun writing something nice about someone. Let's just be happy Jeff L is not posting on this thread.

I think most auction houses charge too much for shipping but then again on eBay I have been forced into not being able to charge more than $3 to ship cards of any value or weight or suffer the wrath of a low DSR.

One way to combat people from complaining about excessive shipping is.... not to charge any!
Its not that radical of an idea, especially w/ the higher buyers premium.

I got topped on my Legendary bids, but I did win a lot from Baggers on Thursday.
It was free shipping if sending a payment via the mail, which I did. Sterling did the same thing.
And last year REA offered free shipping to winning bidders as well.
Hopefully more auctions houses will use this approach.

I agree Greg. I think, for many, it's more fun to bitch than try to get resolution. While Legendary certainly has some issues that look to be far more important/serious than potentially a few extra dollars on shipping and handling, I feel I must at least put in a good word for Doug and gang concerning shipping charges. The few times I thought mine were out of whack and called Doug (or Legendary otherwise) I have always been taken care of as to what I expected. They have always been very accommodating operationally speaking. I would be remiss if I didn't at least say they have always taken care of my concerns to my satisfaction. I personally like all of the folks I know at Legendary and hope the whole debacle of indictments and court cases will be over with in the near term (even though I know that probably won't happen) and we can get back to the great hobby of collecting our little gems. I also appreciate the fact the authorities are continuing to have an eye on the hobby. Long story short, Legendary/Mastro has always been one of my favorite auction houses and have always bent over backwards to help me. (again, I realize the other issues at hand and if bad stuff took place, well, that will be taken care of too)
