<p>[QUOTE="Topher, post: 268293, member: 8489"]As I see it, the issue at hand is not the cost of S&H, but rather the inflation of that cost. If you charge $10, then provide something close to that in shipping. I'm not opposed to paying $10 or so for the flat-rate priority box, as I know it costs $8.95, postage included. I won't pay $10 for a paper envelope with a single stamp. That is where the line should be drawn. I always know what my shipping costs are up front, and if I don't like it, I move along. I once paid over $250 to ship something from Europe (no, it wasn't a coin, it was an ophicleide). I factored that in, and I knew up front what I was getting. (It was a box about 18"x18"x60", and I got it in less than a week). I got what I paid for. If it had taken 3 months, and been all banged up, then we would have had a completely different situation. Shipping & Handling should be just that, not Shipping & Handling (& profit padding).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
