Hello BOTN, I just checked shipping Fed ex for $3900.00 Michigan to Seattle as an example cost was $54.00.. $10.00 won't cover shipping and insurance.
Your shipping cost sounds reasonable.

I won one, standard-sized card for $720.00. Shipping was $32.75. I emailed and asked if that could be reviewed. No response. Bit the bullet and sent certified funds on 5/7. Have not received card. Emailed status request last Thursday. A couple hours later I get a response that my item has been shipped on 5/21. No card yet--supposedly tomorrow.

I'm not at all thrilled by this, but won the card at below my top bid, so I have no real bitterness. I do believe the shipping is almost arbitrary, that it is a profit center, and that preferential treatment is afforded.

So any update today Matt?


As far as the guys that received their cards timely, I think that's just dandy. But it doesn't seem to be the norm on a regular enough basis.

Hey Matt,

I would be interested in that update

I guess I should've questioned my shipping charge also. I won a Dave Winfield game used bat, and was charged $38 for shipping. I just went to fedex.com and found out that the shipping charge for a package that size/weight is only $11 and change.

I paid for it immediately (mailed my check the day after the auction), and received the bat this past Friday (one week enroute).

I came down with strep throat last night and have been layed up in bed most of the day so I didn't have a chance to call. I did send an email today to their customer service account, but no answer to that so far.

Um, and you call yourself a baseball card collector? Unconscious I can understand...strep throat? Nope.

I agree. Strep throat? That's kind of weak. I think we need to set some standards whereby it's ok NOT to collect when in varying degrees of health crisis. Maybe we can do a poll?

Can you collect after hernia surgery?
