Legendary - $20 to ship one card

[Edwolf1963]

Won one card last night (this morning technically), received my invoice and it was close to $20 to ship one card ($300 value). I understand the need/cost for process, pack and insurance - and that should fall to the buyer .. but this?!

Anyone else get win anything from Legendary last night and get a ridiculous shipping amount on their invoice this morning?

Mine was high as well. Around $40. I just pay it and move on....

I would contact them. Back in May I won a 22" x 28" painting and a 10 pound book which were sent separately and I paid $34.42 for shipping.

Yeah, I got $33 shipping for one $950 card. A bit crazy I must say - and I intend on calling about it. They make enough off of the premium - no need to tack on the shipping premium as well.

Give'em a call and they'll usually work with you.

I'm happy with s&h for a change - $22 to ship a baseball. With weight and insurance, that's not bad.

$21.00 to ship my $500.00 card. Reasonable with insurance and costs for employee in my opinion.

Problem is shipping isn't an exact science when you're dealing with one-off items.

Some places just say $xx per 100 shipped. When you ship a 500 ball or card, they end up charging more than their shipping costs. When you're shipping a trophy or something that really needs some unique attention, they take a bath, so it all balances out. And no one is really going to itemize shipping anyhow--

$1.08 for the box
8oz of foam peanuts @.05/oz
$.05 per sheet of packing paper
2 feet of packing tape
the packer's hourly rate divided by the amount of time it took to box it up
etc.

What about the rent per square foot of where the boxes are stored? What kind of shelves are the boxes stored on--I wouldn't have incurred that expense if I didn't need to ship.

Storing all those boxes require me to heat/cool the area, so now the electric bill becomes part of it . . .

It'd get silly pretty quick.

I've called up Legendary and am still waiting a response.

UPS insurance rates are, I think .35 per $100 unless there is a bulk discount for their account. That alone would be $35 for 10k insurance . . .

When Ive called, Legendary has lowered the shipping price...they got me $35 on a $1k card this time.

Al shipped 2 signed item, a magazine and a newspaper, $775 value for $8.25.
