Auction House Shipping Price, what is reasonable?

"I'm curious as to others experience with Mears, after my last debacle with their shipping department."


Their shipping is HORRIBLE. I ordered a pennant from them. It took a month, and numerous calls and emails to some guy named TJ, who was head of their shipping and Troy Kinunen, before I received the pennant. TJ had told me he was going to pack it and ship it himself the next day, after one of the calls. A week and a half later, still hadn't received the pennant, and I live only 25 miles away from them. More phone calls and emails and finally received it.

About Mears, you know, I haven't won anything from them recently, but I have won a few things from their auctions in the past. I really don't remember anything about about them. I thought that the shipping fees were reasonable and I received the items promptly.

For example, looking at one of my old invoices from May 2010, I won 2 slabbed cards from them for ~$100 after BP, my shipping was $5.95 and $2 insurance. Maybe a little high compared to if I bought similar cards from ebay. On ebay, I would have expected the shipping to be $3.50 total with no insurance. Mears shipped the cards in a box, while on ebay, most sellers just ship in bubble mailers.
