<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 435466, member: 15199&quot;]Boy it gets hazy and maybe I misunderstood the 3rd party shipping thing,</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Here is from their &quot;Shipping charges&quot; page</p><p><span style="color: Green"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: Green"></span> <span style="color: Green">If the Shipping Description on the item page says <b>&quot;3rd party Shipping&quot;</b>,&nbsp;&nbsp; then the successful bidder is responsible to arrange pick-up, shipping,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; and insurance through third parties.
