No that�s a great price for the auto and air adapter but I have seen too may times of an item selling for 10 bucks and they charge 25 for shipping and handling.. One guy wanted to charge me 50bucks to ship a part for shipping and handling for a 20 dollar item and I said just drop it off at mailbox's ect. And bill the reciver since I have an acount.. Let mailbox's ect box it and they will ins. Since it was them who packed it.. They wouldn�t do it.. So I told them sorry didn�t think shipping should cost that much.. I mean it wasn�t even fragle.. -----Original Message----- From: T i m [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, March 10, 2002 8:36 AM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] Chemicals in the post ..

I have also bought the Libretto and an Oboe (for my daughter) and have been very pleased with the deals. (admittedly, I did go and collect those) The 12V Air / Car converter was 39 USD with 7 USD for 3 day shipping? > The > battery is not caustic.. [T] Well, I know they can / do contain a mixture of chemicals ( gel electrolyte etc) and it probably wouldn't do you any good if were to swallow some? In the real world however I'm with you, especially considering the Libby battery is 'packaged' in a robust casing (cos it's a laptop) and shipped in a cardboard box on it's own, with shielded terminals (no risk of a short cct) and I assume they would be delivered with little / no charge in them? > Batterys are shipped all the time and are not > priced that high.. [T] Well, I wouldn't have thought it would be that much (60 USD .. and wouldn't buy it if it was!) I did ask them the shipping costs by e-mail before the auction ended but they took a while to reply (not a good sign). > > See if they will put it on your fedex account.
