Legendary winnings

Well, I know that Mastro/Legendary says on its invoice that it doesn't ship using the USPS, so the registered-mail option is a moot point. Whether the decision to not use the USPS is a wise one is another discussion. I don't know enough about the costs of shipping via UPS and FedEx to comment on how the value of a parcel affects the shipping charge.

And to be clear, I'm not defending Mastro's/Lengendary's shipping charges. I'll leave that for others to do. I'm just saying that it seems logical that the value of a package should be figured into the equation.

I won the Dave Winfield autographed game-used bat. $38.26 to ship on a $360 final bid (w/juice).

You guys are just thinking of this as "Shipping." But it's really "Shipping & HANDLING!"

It that damn "HANDLING" that runs up the cost.

Just a follow up. Nobody ever replied to my inquiry about the excessive shipping but I was notified by them today telling me they shipped out my card. The $57 I was charged for shipping a single card worth $3900 went towards $10 ground service with Federal Express. I have been a loyal Mastro consignor and bidder for years so this really rubs me the wrong way.

I think the following is a pretty fair comparison regarding shipping and handling charges.

Group of eight oversized, graded cards -- total bid amount $1,700. Legendary shipping charge: $35.04

Group of seven oversized, graded cards, plus six standard-sized graded cards -- total bid amount $11,800. REA shipping charge: $25

The distance from Legendary's offices to my house is about 200 miles less than from REA's offices to my house.

I received an amended shipping total from Legendary today; my shipping cost was reduced from $198 to $35.

Jeff - nice! How'd you swing that? I emailed two days ago about the shipping costs and haven't heard anything.

Matt, it's not what you know, it's who you know.

Seriously, just contact Legendary (as you did) and I think any bizarre shipping costs are being fixed as per the email I received from Doug.

Nice -- I wonder if I'll get any refund on my $61.50 in S&H for a single baseball card.
