SCP Auctions and shipping cost

[danmckee]

I won one lousy card from SCP auctions. Sports Card Plus. David Kohler. I receive an invoice for my $200+ card. $17+ shipping and $1.60 insurance.

ARE YOU FKG KIDDING ME???????????????????????

My card arrives very well packaged in a box that could hold a 1952 Topps complete set. UPS which is a ripoff to begin with!

I sent an email and a note with my payment with no response to either.

God bless them that they do not need my business!

I may not bid on alot, but I am sitting on several million dollars worth of cards and a very good friend of mine used them to sell his collection.

When I am ready to sell, they will NOT be considered! At all!

Terrible customer service, RAPES their bidders with shipping, does not respond to problems.

SCP you can GO TO HELL!

Sincerely,

Dan Mckee

I was recently charged $13 shipping plus $3 insurance on a card I won for $30 from an auction house. It was obscene.

Not to mention SCP's 20% buyers premium. 20%? Really? No inventory costs. The shipping, handling, and insurance is paid separately. 20% ?

I won 6 cards and 5 baseball magazines from Sterling a few months a few months ago. I thought the shipping was quite reasonable. Only about 10-12 bucks for a large package. I was content and was surprised when Lee refunded several bucks of it a day later. Said it didn't cost as much as he thought it would. Thumbs up!

I'm pretty tight with Kohler, Dan. You want me to put in a good word for you and get it all straightened out?

I won a bat, was also $17 for shipping, $5 for insurance...maybe it's a blanket rate no matter what you win? should obviously be much less for one card.

Yeah Ryan, why don't you go ahead and touch base with him and let us know how it goes?

I think most of the auction sites (besides places like ebay) charge higher shipping/handling fees. Did you have to sign for the package???

[Runscott]

P.S. - not saying complaining about auction houses isn't good and necessary, just stating an observation.

Stoneypony hit the nail on the head.

So just because someone makes a good living...or bought when the market was much different...they should be charged more than the avg joe for the same thing? That's BS and you know it!

I often lie about my profession as people think that just because I'm a dentist...I'm rich and they can charge me more...I'm not...and they can't!

Maybe all the AHs could implement a sliding scale for S&H based on a means test.

There are a lot of people in this world that don't know it. A big problem these days.

Thanks for sharing, but who give a shit? Complain to the auction house, or don't pay the extremely high shipping to begin with. Life is too short to blow a gasket over 17 bucks.

Dave... i was more referring to The reference to Dan's multimillion dollar collection... Not SCP's shipping policies. Point taken hammer... Additionally... I would say the last 10 to 15 items I have sold on eBay I have undercharged substantially for shipping... I didn't realize how expensive it has gotten?!
