<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 655837, member: 13650&quot;]coinman,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Some people are just plain weird when it comes to money.&nbsp; Cheap, maybe, if you want to call it that.&nbsp;&nbsp; I mean, look at the hassle this guy is going to put himself through over something that could so easily be settled.&nbsp; We&#039;re not talking about an amount of money that would put him out by any means.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; People just get funny sometimes.&nbsp; Someone on another forum just purchased $350.00 worth of coral frags from me last week.&nbsp; This requires overnight shipping so I quoted $50.00 shipping (which is typical) on top of it and I said that if it goes over a bit, I would take it out of the cost.&nbsp; I was figuring on a 10 lb weight.&nbsp;&nbsp; We sent PM&#039;s back and forth, text messaged each other and had a couple long phone conversations leading up to the ship date.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Well, this is no small task on my end involving high $$ insulated boxes that I get for free, $6 worth of containers, saltwater, ice packs, a lot of packing material and tape.&nbsp; On top of it, I took off half a day of work to do this (and ship a couple other pieces).&nbsp;&nbsp; Then I bring the 2&#039;x1&#039;x16&quot; box down to the post office and it ends up weighing 20 lbs!! Double what I anticipated.&nbsp;&nbsp; Overnight shipping ends up costing me $87.00!!&nbsp;&nbsp; And I&#039;ve already lost $13.50 to paypal/ATM fees.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; But, I didn&#039;t care.&nbsp; I mentioned to them that we&#039;ll see how everything ships and if you want, you&#039;re welcome to chip in a little extra for shipping if you&#039;re satisfied.&nbsp; Otherwise, I&#039;m not going to worry about it.&nbsp; I&#039;m more interested to see how well everything does.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; In less than 24 hrs after me putting stuff in containers, the box is delievered to their door.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;It&#039;s been a week and I haven&#039;t heard a peep back from this person.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve PM&#039;d,&nbsp; sent text messages.&nbsp; Nothing.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if they&#039;re mad about something, in the hospital or they just don&#039;t want to discuss the extra shipping.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know.&nbsp; But I&#039;ll probably never hear from them again.&nbsp; And to me, nothing went bad.&nbsp; This was a friendly person that I got along well with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
