All kidding aside, you will find that C-bid's shipping charges are in line with other purveyors. High shipping charges would deter potential buyers.
AND, from the website:
How do I know if I won?
We will send you an E-mail Confirmation of your winning bid, the item description, and quantity. Also, you will receive an End of Day Order Summary at midnight detailing the total charges to your credit card. This is done to factor in shipping savings for you in cases where you may have won multiple items on any given day (more on Shipping Savings Program)
If I win more than 1 item, can you send them together so I can save on shipping charges?
In most cases, yes. For your convenience, an "Order Summary" invoice containing your entire order activity will be automatically emailed to you either daily or weekly (depending the option you selected), and will include information on all the bids you may have won during that period. This summary will help you save on shipping charges by combining items won during the period and will reflect the charges applied to your credit card (more on Shipping Savings Program)
What are my shipping options?
Standard shipping is UPS-Ground or USPS priority. Insurance fees may be added for products valued over $50, and signature fees may be added for items valued over $100. Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and FPO/APO charges may be higher. All orders will ship within 72 hours of closing and you can expect arrival within 2 to 8 business days after shipping, depending on your location.
