So, I've bought a lot of horror items lately. Most of them have come from eBay. I always try to look for people that don't rip you off on the shipping charges, unless there's no way I can avoid it. So, here's the deal on this shit. The shipping charges cost more than the item I purchased. Yes, it's true. The item was around $9 and the shipping is $10. Now, this motherfucker contacted me saying that he can ship to a P.O. Box but it's going to be parcel post which could take up to 2 weeks. I tell him that's fine, and I figured that would be the last time I heard from him. Nope, instead of shipping out my item today, he has another question for me. He wants to know if I want to upgrade to Priority Mail for only $4 more!
Ok, so lets take a look at this:
Shipping costs $10.
Item costs $9.
He's charging way more than what actual shipping would cost on this thing. I think the dimensions of the item are 8 1/2 x 12 3/4. In other words, this isn't a huge fucking item or anything. He's charging me $10 to ship that, which is too much, and he's still trying to get more money out of the shipping charges. What happened to the $10 I already fucking spent? This isn't about money, I don't give a fuck about that. I just don't like someone trying to rip me off, and that's exactly what he's doing. He's lucky I bought from him in the first place, considering his outrageous fucking shipping costs.

OMG! Trust me, i understand completely about shit like this. So you must really want this item bad to go ahead with it. Which i understand that to. Sometimes what i do is i will go figure up the shipping costs myself for an item i think is WAY over priced shipping wise. Then i will take the info that i have learned and i stick it up their noses. Sometimes you can get them to take it down a notch. But not always. I also think some of these people charge you for not only the shipping, but your also buying the freakin packaging they ship it in. Which i think is BS. I also look for low shippers. And in most cases like this, i just try to wait it out and hope i see the item again with reasonable shipping etc. But i know that cant always be done depending on the item. But that is an outrageous case of SHITTY SHIPPERS as i call them.

Been there - got the hat

Even in its own "bubble of protection" (it came in a mail ready container)
It was going to cost me about 20 bucks to mail.

Cali, I think. Road trip?
Me and my 12 gage is down
exdev: keep me posted on what happens ok?
I told him to ship it parcel. He didn't get back to me yet. In other words, he still hasn't shipped my item.

Damn that just means that much more waiting. *Sighs*
I know. He's just trying to make more profit off of shipping. He's telling me how long it's going to take, then wastes time before sending it out. What a doucher.

You have more patience with that then i would. I think after this long and not even shipped out still, id tell him to refund my money and then give him a big fat fuck you. LOL
If I don't hear from him today that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm in no hurry for the item, but fuck this.
