<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2351612, member: 57495&quot;]I&#039;m not sure how you get to the point where they&#039;re &quot;driven by greed&quot;, but I think it is at worst a case of poor backroom processing and an imprecise system of calculating shipping fees.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know for sure, but just based on how they&#039;ve billed me, it seems to be GBP 12.50 if the invoice total is below GBP 500, and GBP 25 if it&#039;s between GBP 500 and GBP 1500 (maybe higher? I&#039;ve not spent more than that with Roma before).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I just received my coins from the same sale as yours today, and this was the timeline (which is as good as it gets for Roma for me): </p><p><br /></p><p>Jan 30 - Sale date</p><p>Feb 1 - Invoice received and payment made by wire transfer</p><p>Feb 5 - Shipped and tracking info received</p><p>Feb 18 - Coins received</p><p><br /></p><p>As I live in Singapore, I suffer the mystifying and myriad methods that various sellers use to calculate international shipping fees.&nbsp; Just from the US alone, I&#039;ve been charged:</p><p><br /></p><p>- $16 for 6 coins worth $550 (Frank Robinson)</p><p>- $22 for 1 coin worth $120 (Vauctions)</p><p>- $35 for 1 coin worth $500 (Stack&#039;s)</p><p>- $35 for 80 coins worth $500 (Stack&#039;s again!)</p><p><br /></p><p>CNG is currently holding 7 coins for me worth about $550, and my shipping fee total for them is $42.&nbsp; I&#039;ve stopped trying to figure out how it all works, but as shipping fees seem to be going in the opposite direction of oil prices, I might want to start asking how they&#039;re actually calculated to get a better fix on my total costs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
