SHIPPING CHARGES!

[kitkat39]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Have you guys seen the shipping charges lately this year??? Everything has skyrocketed! What used to cost me like $25 NOW costs like 35 big ones! (That's PER BOX) So if you ship out 10 boxes, that's $100 LESS than what you thought you would have had. Do you KNOW HOW MUCH BOOZE you could buy with $100???? Kind of like some stranger coming up to you and reaching in your pocket, taking out $100, then walking away.. and all you could do is stand there and stare. You could almost see a tear streaming down my left cheek as they totaled up the charges! LOL!

Someone please give me a tissue.... or a beer.. =Þ:::

OK That's my rant for the day! =)

with the high price of gas and airline fuel, yes, the cost of shipping has gone up alot.

I too have been hit hard by having to take a small hit or passing it on the the client.

on top of that, even discount shipping dealers (ship-your-reptiles) has gotten into so much problems this past summer, that they are no longer with UPS and should be going with FedEx by now.

packages that used to be $45-$55 ar now an easy $55 and up to $65...no one likes this on the high end shipping.

I also just shipped an express package with the post office last week in a priority box, and they had the nerve to tell me that they don't want me to use the free boxes for a higher priced shipping fee service. (say what? ) it's bad enough that they went up in price by about $5.00 for overnight, and you now wont let me ship in a free box unless I pay less money for 2 to 3 day? the post office is on drugs if you ask me.

If I hear her say that, then I'll tell her I'll take my packages somewhere else to ship! and me tip too!



For the past three years, I have been able to keep my shipping prices the same, and even added the lower one for fly shipping. Here's to hoping it does not go any higher! :sorcerer:

I noticed just this month on the PO website that the prices went up. Admittedly, I haven't looked into the overnight shipping...thankfully, I've been able to avoid that! But, I have seen the difference...ridiculous! Maybe we should go back to the Pony Express! At least horses' costs stay about the same!

No I haven't looked and I don't want to.

[GreenOasis]

Wow...I see what you meant. Your mistake was to offer free shipping. YOU GOOF!

:lol: lol....

A few days ago I WAS ABOUT TO order something (a lamp <_< ) and they wanted to charge me $90 ( ) to ship it :gun_bandana: :surrender:

 

[dgerndt]

THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!!! $90?! DANG! That lamp had better be the best darn lamp ever made to cost that much to ship.

 

[geckoboy3]

Yeah.... I bought it elsewhere lol..... now it's cheaper just to pick stuff for me then to order them--- but all my pets are ordered online :whistling: It's hard on the bank account!

Tell me about it! I'm just a poor college student! lol
