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.

Bo somepeople are Just dumbass's and need to die now where is this person that your buying off from ?
Now, remember: you don't aim a gun at a man unless you intend to shoot him. And, you don't shoot a man unless you intend to kill him. No warning shots. Hey, you listening to me? No warning shots. Warning shots are bullshit. You shoot to kill, or you don't shoot at all.

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.

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.
