Sorry, Simon, but exactly what was our business dealing? I honestly cannot
recall ever doing business with you, but now that you have decided to bring
the matter up in open forum I think it only fair you state exactly what you
are talking about. It is quite obvious from your exchanges that your

Helmut,
yes I seem to remember you mentioning this before, as for me I would only bid
at Heritage for an item I really wanted now because shipping charges are
excessive. Personally I moved on I voted with my pocket not with my mouth, that

Yes I agree, they all have contract rates with their postage companies
they should easily be able to provide some sort of ready

To be fair, and correct me if I am wrong, but no other movie poster
auction house (except one) can tell you what the item will cost before
sending should you win the auction.
But I agree in an ideal world it would be nice to know beforehand.

Perhaps they need to lift their game. If ebay can require all sellers to
specify postage costs up front then why

The uncertainty about international postage costs at Heritage has put me off
bidding from time to time. You have to factor in the cost of postage to
determine whether it is worth bidding, particularly on lower value items. If

Thanks to Michael for responding to my query. I will provide fuller details
of my grievances in due course, but in the meantime feel obliged to deal

let's get real on shipping costs. to do so, I'm
going to explain what shipping is like to sellers
first of all, while it does seem that buyers pay
shipping costs - it isn't completely true (if it's true at all)
for instance, let's say you as a buyer find
something in a store for $50.
Rich,
I hate to contradict you, but if you buy the postage online on the USPS website, for a 2 pd. package its only 9.97, not 11.55. Single poster orders should not exceed 1 pd, so for these you would pay 6.51 for postage, if purchased online. With all due respect, but I cant see how youre
I don't mind the clarification Helmut
you do get a discount when buying online and it does vary per package.
however, while a single poster in a box weighs
15ozs, one you introduce a second poster it is
over 1lb which makes you pay the 2lb rate. it is
rare that I only sell one poster to any

Is this something that you think only applies to other people or do you think

Rich,
I have bought from you in the past and never considered your shipping
costs too expensive. In general, I understand that posting to UK from USA
is never going to be cheap. I am a small-time dealer myself and
occasionally sell to clients in US, so appreciate the costs involved. I do
