smokshwn Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Five little teeny plastic parts. Could easily go in an envelope with a stamp. $9.00 in shipping. I don't mind paying a buck or two cuz it covers the "handling" component of pulling my order but good hell, NINE BUCKS??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I email places like that and ask if they will ship for a reasonable rate, if they wont I take my business elsewhere, I dont buy the "handling" crap either thats called overhead, figure it into your pricing, I recently canceled my order with a well known kydex maker, I ordered two mag pouches, $14 shipping. these items could fit in a $4.95 flat rate box. and the post office will give you the box.

smokshwn Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 You rock B.... I have a buddy looking to buy a machine so we were talking the other day. I told him he needs to call you. He said that he knew pretty much what he wanted. So I told him, that although you're a great help in sorting that out, the real reason to call was just to B.S. with you and see where the call goes. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidwiz Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I hate it when the shipping costs more than the item you purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster113 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Yep, its even worse for us who live in Hawaii; we always get screwed with shipping charges. A well known home audio speaker manufacturer wanted to charge me $40 for UPS shipping for a set of carpet spikes for my floorstanding speakers! The spikes (which will fit in a regular envelope) were $20. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el pres Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) Dude, I ordered some light pipes from one of the fiber sight companies. I mean "4 Friken 2.5" light pipes", they cost like $4 total, and they charged me their minimum $12 in shipping. I had to do it because no one else has pipes for this specific model .. Maybe it's time to changed models,...and brands Edited July 5, 2010 by el pres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
