Thread: a minor rant....

As far as shipping costs, I don't think they're unreasonable at all. A small flat rate box is what, $5.75 to ship? I don't think 75¢ is too much to ask for their packing supplies and the time/expense to run to the post office. Besides, as someone else pointed out, you were aware of the shipping cost before bidding on the item.

i mail razors quite often.... i live in miami and recently sold a razor to someone in california..... padded envelope was 1.19$.... shipping WITH tracking number was 2.87$...... = $4.06

i don't have a problem with someone making a extra dollar or two or three even to cover gas time etc....

BUT...

this seller also has a negative feedback about SLOW shipping......

like i said.... i ain't trying to be a dick....

but... if you say you are going to mail something DELIVERED TO ME in 7 to 8 days..... don't mail it on the 7th day....

just sayin... a email would have solved all.... just a "having personal problems please be patient with me"....

i have sent a email such as that when i sold a cell phone... went to ship it and my wife had put it somewhere and she was out of town.... i sent a immediate email to the buyer and there was no issue... *(to be fair i found the phone the following day and got it in the mail)

but when i buy something it is no longer the sellers property.. and they have a responsibility to get it to me as quickly as possible....

IMHO...
