Shipping and Handling

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Shipping and Handling

Post by stonedzealot »

I'm looking through E-bay for a super old computer, and I'm getting these hits for old 486s for like $1. I open up the page and it's got like $15-$20 s&h. First I blamed greedy people setting it that way, but Priority Mail really does charge an assload (especially for 23lb packages). It's retarded. How much do they have to do? Sort the mail and throw it onto a godd*m truck. That's not worth $20 postage. I mean it'd be different if it was *only* your package and they had to ride out there in blizzards (which they do, sometimes but not on horses). Grrrrr! >:(

Sorry to be so blunt, but what option do you have?
Either pay the $20 or go get it yourself. ::)
They charge as much as they do because they CAN.

Fortunately though, the $20 covers more than just moving it from Point A
to Point B. It also covers THE BOX (oooh..aaah) and bubble wrap or
whatever the people decide to use to protect the internal components.

Look on the bright side...At least you can spend a fun afternoon popping it..

And don't forget, if you lose all your money due to S/H, you can always live in the box! ::)
