Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1095192, member: 15929"]I could not find an explicit reference to "combining" shipments from different auctions with in the Terms and Conditions. Neither could I find the term "combine" or "combined" which leaves: "These Terms and Conditions and any documents it incorporates set forth the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof."(bolding is mine) Since combining the shipments of auction lots from "different" auctions is NOT addressed, it can only be assumed that it is NOT allowed since the Terms and Conditions layout what they will and are required to do. As for Irma's reference to insurance, Teletrade has their own Insurance Carrier and not the USPS unless requested by the buyer and at the buyers expense. "Teletrade provides limited insurance coverage for loss, theft or damage of coins while in its possession and for shipments it makes to Bidder in an amount as determined by Teletrade's insurer, such amount not to exceed the invoice price of the coin(s)."(Bolding is mine) Teletrade, like any auction house, is not going to hold up the shipment of items won in the hopes that you'll bid and win in another auction. They do combine all the lots won in a single auction which is only right. Often times I wish that they'd combine shipments especially since I bid Sunday and Monday auctions with regularity but since they don't, I don;t spend my time pining over it. As for not paying for "four auction lots": "Any payment not mailed to Teletrade within two business days of the auction (as indicated by the bidder's postmark) or not paid online within two business days of the auction is deemed to be late. Teletrade reserves the right to pursue legal action against any late payer and to bar him/her from future auctions. All return privileges are voided by late payment. If payment is not received by Teletrade within thirty (30) days of the auction, Teletrade reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to rescind the sale, in which event any lots won will no longer be available to the winning bidder and his/her bidder number will be invalidated. A revalidation fee will be assessed to those wishing to have their bidder number reinstated. A Bidder whose bidding number has been invalidated is prohibited from (1) bidding at any Teletrade auction, under the invalidated number or any other number, (2) registering again with Teletrade or applying for any other bidding number, unless and until approved in writing by Teletrade and the revalidation fee has been paid," and (3) consigning any coins to Teletrade, directly or indirectly, personally or through an agent or other consignor. This is not an approval sale. Teletrade is not a dealer and does not own coins."(Bolding is mine) Folks are welcome to dispute Teletrade's shipping prices but those same folks should have reviewed exactly what Teletrade charges for shipping, as indicated on their site, BEFORE bidding. <img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u8/lcl1119/Misc/TeletradeSHFees.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> BTW, I thought that the LAST statement above "Teletrade is not a dealer and does not own coins" was kind of interesting as it debunks the thought that Teletrade is selling coins that they "own". Unless of course, someone knows otherwise. Whatever. My feelings are if you buy something online, whether its an auction house or eBay, where the shipping and handling amounts are published, then you have an obligation to pay for what you've purchased and deal with your complaints within the parameters setup by the selling venue. If you don;t like what you;'ve been charged then just don't buy from them anymore. It's really that simple.[/QUOTE]
