<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 8197396, member: 44316&quot;]When I buy I am usually careful to check the cost of shipping in advance. I made a mistake by not asking for a particular cost in advance from Tauler &amp; Fau. The auction terms read only &quot;Insurance and shipping costs will be paid by the buyer.&quot; In their Feb. 1, 2022, auction I won only one coin which hammered at 100 euros. I was surprised to get an invoice with 39.99 euros for shipping. I protested via email that 39.99 euros was remarkably high and requested a lower cost. They wrote back saying that shipping costs for them had gone up and that was their charge for shipping. I wrote a second time listing five European firms I have bought from recently and their cost for shipping, none of which were close to that high. I suggested they might even use regular mail and I would take the risk. They wrote back saying that with envelopes, labor, and DHL costs they did not make a profit from their charge and it was 39.99 euros. I paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>I paid, but I am not happy about it. Had I bought 2000 euros worth of coins, 40 euros for shipping would be minimal. When I buy a coin worth 100 euros + 18%, 40 euros for shipping is an unwelcome surprise. </p><p><br /></p><p>Be careful to check shipping costs in advance and be wary of wording that fails to mention a particular amount.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
