Absurd PWCC Shipping Cost........BEWARE

My problem with their shipping, and others is, it doesn't make much sense paying more or equal amounts for shipping than what you paid for the card.

I was glad to read the OP got a rebate. I asked once, after winning a $20 card from them if there was anything they could do with the shipping, but all I got was a sorry, those are our fees.

I knew the cost going in so it's no ones fault but mine, but after that transaction, and others, I quickly started looking around a little more carefully/patiently and found many others out there who don't charge near what they charge, and that was before they raised their current shipping fees.

+1. I won't pay $35 shipping on a $35 card. It limits me to purchasing four figure cards (or close to it) at minimum.

Their fees were not always that high. It just sticks with me that it's a bit of a cash grab.

The good is their shipping is quick. The bad is if you win another item the next day, it's another full shipping charge.

There are too many other sellers on Ebay other than the big two to be gouged on shipping. Period.

Who is charging $35 on a $35 card?

My last purchase through PWCC was a $45 card and the shipping was $4.

I see from the listing.


$6.00 Standard Shipping


What am I missing? Did the card ship out of the country?

So the issue is international shipping charges. Does PWCC use the Global Shipping Program, first class with tracking, or is it a customs issue?

The prices I see, and likely what most CDN's see as well. Thought it might be different stateside but previous threads about their shipping fees, nothing was mentioned.

In this thread I started, I listed some other prices I seen and wondered why shipping was all over the place? (post#9)

I can't speak for PWCC but everything I have read is shipping charges for cards and especially cards of value that are declared have exploded going to Canada.

Stinks for Canadian collectors.

I have bought cards from PWCC before and waited to pay because there is something else ending a day or two later that I also want. They have always combined shipping. If you win a card and pay that day then a day or two later win another one that won't combine because the first one is already packed and probably shipped.
