INSURANCE IS HIGH. Lots of people - especially people who do not
mail order much - are still under the misapprehension
that shipping is inexpensive. It isn't and insurance is expensive
too. Not saying that your shipper is treating you fairly or not, but
you can go to USPS.gov and figure it out. People who have handling
charges should say so. Bought any Yazoo tubes lately? Not cheap.
And the cost of getting them to you? Not cheap.

Hey Doug and all,
How much are the stills worth. Insurance on a box can be steep.
However, it would seem that $39 to ship a small package is
excessive. In all fairness to other sellers, though, as I do hear a
lot of complaints about what people perceive as excessive shipping
charges, I do absorb part of the shipping of my frames. Most of my
frames are "free shipping" in multipacks with the exception of my
larger Premium and Deluxe frames as they get shipped in a box that
is 48"x33"x4" and the normal shipping on that box from L.A. to N.Y.
is close to $50 and that is based on the discounted rate I get
because I ship close to 50 boxes a day. So, imagine the guy that
has to ship just one!!
Did the seller give an explanation as to why he is charging
$39? If the purchase was an Ebay one and the shipping was pre-
listed, then you don't have much of a case. If not mentioned in the
listing, you can report it to Ebay as excessive shipping charges.
Of course, we all know what Ebay does or doesn't do with complaints.
Good Luck Doug,

Subject: [MOPO] shipping question?
This is to all the dealers/sellers.
What would you charge to send 50 loose 8x10 stills Priority mail to
Columbus, Ohio?
The reason for asking, I won that many from a seller and that
seller is wanting to charge $39.00. There is not suppose to be a
handling charge, just shipping. Also, this package is being shipped
from the middle of the country.
I just receive 2- 27x41 frames from Sue and her charge (FedEx) was
only $30. and of course , in a very large box.
I know that postage is getting out of hand, but I think some
sellers are trying to capitalize on the situation...any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Doug
