A bit of levity

That’s under a pound. Should be less than $10 to ship. Will fit into a small flat rate box.

With us it'd be $11.70. Actual shipping plus $5. We did the math and $5 is the sweet spot where for large purchases we lose a little on labor and materials and on small ones we gain a little.

Others may not agree, but I feel that labor and packing materials should be covered by the auction house's buyers premium (usually 20%), except when an inexpensive item requires an inordinate amount of packing. And, the shipping charge to auction winners should only be the direct out-of-pocket cost (USPS, UPS, insurance, etc.) incurred.

I'd come out ahead by upping my BP another 2% in most cases. Of course I don't have two rates for cash and credit card/Paypal either.

Well.... I still don't have a new shipping price or any answer from them, apparently they use a UPS store to do their shipping. The lady I spoke to yesterday thought it might be a good idea if they just mailed it themselves....you think, duh!

I won a $1 card in a Net 54 charity auction years ago (not run by Leon)
The shipping was $11 because “we have to print out invoices”

I never heard about that. That isn't cool.
