At the risk of beating a dead horse, remember that $5 pack of clips? Remember that the retailer only makes about $1 off of that. We don't get the stuff for free you know. So, now how much time do you think that retailer wants to pay for so that your shipping can be $2 instead of $8.
I'm not arguing with you. Just saying that that's how it works from the perspective of the big companies. Like I said before, I do use USPS for small orders. In fact, I have at least 6 orders packed and waiting for somebody to take them to the post office. Why are they waiting? Because I can't possibly send somebody to the post office every time there is one order to go out USPS. It costs me about $10 worth of that person's time, and I would lose money on every order. I can't sell a pack of clips that I make $1 on and then pay somebody $10 to take it to the post office. I have to wait until there are at least a half dozen or so to make it worthwhile, and even then it's costing me money to save you money. So USPS orders get held up, and then customers get mad because they are not getting their stuff as fast as they want it. So, you see, there is no good answer. Everybody hates paying for shipping, but it's a fact of life that if you want something shipped, you have to pay for shipping. Hopefully you will find a company whose shipping rates you feel are reasonable, and you will give all of your business to that company :) Not to mention that the retailer also has to pay to have the stuff shipped from the manufacturer. That's also supposed to come out of the retailer's end. Just ask any customer and they'll tell you. ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
