The value of your win only has so much to do with the shipping (if it needs insurance at all) what was the WEIGHT of your win?

If you win a Cadillac DeVille for $1 in an online auction they still can't put it in a PWE because you only spent $1.

I had a buyer win 400 magazines from me for about 40 bucks. He had a canary when the shipping was around $120 because he "only spent $40" So I'm supposed to eat a portion of the shipping on almost 200 lbs of magazines because you got a good deal???

The only time it is good to have a canary is when you are in the vicinity of a coal mine.

LOL, exact same thing happened to me over 10 years ago on Ebay. Guy won a bunch of lots of Ring Magazines from me, and ended up giving me 12 neutral feedbacks because of the shipping charge........that I'm pretty sure I lost money on, and charged him a lot less then it actually came to in the shipping calculator, when he initially put the bids in.

Yes - I’ve shipped enough to know that . FedEx’s website didn’t want to work to quote me a price , so using an extreme weight and much bigger box than needed ,usps priority is $37 . I’m use to a few companies being ridiculous with shipping but rea was always good. That’s all .

Beautiful cards! I will definitely have to check out your store when I'm up there this summer.

What did someone at REA say when you asked them about it?

[mrreality68]

WOW
They are really fast shipping. I paid this morning and I received an email with tracking info that I will receive it tomorrow.

I am excited to get to this card. It is my 4th 1916 Advertising Back for Joe Jackson. Trying to make a run on them. Slow but enjoyable process

Nice pick up Jeff, I thought of your run when I saw that card.

[Bkrum]

The PSA 5 Ruth 1935 was my consignment. You should have bid that up a little more and you could have had the trifecta!

Damn! That's a helluva run to attempt! Gorgeous pick up too.

OK, just saying I've seen it before.

Did you call REA? I post it in almost every thread that criticizes an auction company, that I would hope if someone had a complaint they would give me a chance to fix it before going public. If I fail then by all means tell the world.

Sadly its much easier to go on a chat forum vs calling the business owner to attempt to solve the problem.

You dont say? But where is the drama in a phone call? Better yet, ask if you can drive to Podunk, NJ and pick it up in person to "save" on shipping.

Actually Chester is quite a nice town maybe 45 minutes from NYC, and on those occasions I win from REA I do just that. If you're in reasonable driving distance it's a great solution!

I did Priority Mail but alas no shipping for me yet, Zelle limit is only $3,500.00/day, real first world problems

Great cards Don and Jeff!!!

Edited to say I have no issue with Brian and the crew at REA, they do an amazing job!!
