I've heard about a lot difficulties about the price of shipping items purchased at auctions - any type of auctions.
Best thing to do is to ask up front if possible. I was able to do this for an Australian auction where I bid over the Internet. The final cost of shipment was pretty close to what was quoted before the auction. I know this doesn't help your situation, but it's something for anyone to think about for future auctions. Best of luck in finding another shipping agent.

Has anyone else had difficulty negotiating with them? I am currently in the process of locating a reliable 3rd party agent, if anyone has a recommendation. > > Any input would be greatly appreciated! > > Best Wishes, > > Ryan Pawelski > ______________________________________________ > http://www.meteoritecentral.com > Meteorite-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list > ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
