Default Sorry, I've go to gripe

I just bought a $60 BIN - didn't ask about s&h because I felt I needed to snatch it up quick. Well, s&h is now $5 and insurance is an additional $5. I've decided not only to complain (already done), but I'm leaving negative feedback regardless of the transaction outcome, unless the seller volunteers to reduce the insurance. This is ridiculous.

Runscott,

The listing indicates that insurance is optional, but I agree -- $10 is entirely too much for shipping and insurance on a $60 card. The seller has a perfect rating so my guess is that he'll be reasonable on this issue.

Gee, Scott isn't this twice in a week you are getting raped for postage. You must really be an easy target, maybe it's the name runscott? You'll tuck your tail and run.

On what planet is any kind of insurance on any $60 item $5?

That's pretty incredible.

I JUST shipped a card to a customer via USPS; a $130 card insured to full value cost $3 to insure. Postage for the card in a box with plenty of "popcorn" was $1.04. Scott, you got ripped off.

after I told him I thought it was ridiculous. Seems like an okay guy. Lee's right - I paid $12.22 s&h the other day for a $125 card. They must see me coming.

Just got the T3 in the mail - the seller paid a company to pack and ship the card using UPS.

One card, in a rigid top-loader, wrapped in bubble-wrap, in a huge 5" x 12" x 12" box loaded with "popcorn".

Despite my preventative steps, my new puppy, Jack, loves to play with and eventually eat the packaging peanuts, resulting in strange designs on the back lawn.

Which is your pet the fuzzy yellow one, or the fuzzy black and white one?

Is the puppy a Rat Terrier? Or is it a Fox Terrier or a Jack Russell?

He's a Toy Fox Terrier. He's got an grown older brother who weighs 5 lbs. I bring Henry to work with me every day in my coat pocket.
