oh just spiffing, how in the world do you still remember that?! I was just starting to come out from under my rock, when you had to bring it up. You know the Don Carlos incident was one among many. I also agree with Rookie, I hate high shipping cost. I won a magazine on ebay cheap, and the sod comes back telling me shipping cost is $12! Hell with that. But Rookie, as a person doing extensive mail order, there are other costs involved. The most expensive is the damn credit card fees. I pay between 2.5 to 3% of the transaction when a credit card is used to the credit card provider. So sure I add a bit on to shipping cost to help cover that. I also have to buy mailing supplies, though the post office does come to my shop, let's me order all the boxes, labels, tape, etc. I want and they ship it to me free! But I buy other boxes for non priority shipping. So I don't blame CI for adding a bit to the cost of shipping, the auction I won the other day cost $5.50 to ship, even though actual cost was $3.20 priority, but they have to pay people to box it up, and those credit card fees, so I do cut some slack. Also shipping cost are going way up in January, especially priority shipping.
