I get my mail at a post office box; I try to mail stuff then, I don't wait until I've returned home to make a separate trip. And I have no problem 3ing or 4ing some seller who charges way more for shipping than it actually cost. EVEN if I see up front that shipping is $4, if they pay $1.12 postage and charge me $4, that isn't 'reasonable' in my mind. Just because I agreed to it doesn't make it reasonable.
I agree Frank. I am not sure that $4 is unreasonable to me but in any event, just bc I agree to pay something or some amount doesn't make it reasonable.
