Shipping Costs Rant

[BFlat]

Example: Light-weight plastic part (single gauge pod) price is $45. Shipping cost is $46. Dang! Will it be delivered by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders? End of rant.

Let me guess... Off the bag...
The bag has become so expensive with their add-on bullshit frt, value add, etc, that many have quit selling there.
For shits/giggles: When you get the pkge, go to www.pirateship.com and run the size and wt on their calculator.
I got screwed with a $44 charge. I have Pirate ship, so I did it. Just over $14, had I just sent it back as received. The box was what he received the parts in. All he did was put a label on and UPS picked it up.
The vendor got put on blast and removed from my go to list. He could have cared less by his sarcastic/bullshit reply.

We use Pirate ship for all our mailed packages. They beat UPS by almost half on a small 1lb package. Works!

Checked out Pirate Ship. What I read applies to shipping. Can you also use it when ordering merchandise?

Unfortunately no, it's for shippers. Many places seem to use "shipping" as a backdoor premium on their items.

If you can send the seller your label then yes... Say I buy something from you here, you give me dimensions and I'll make label, send it to you, and you print it...
