I priced it out for me as a non business entity to ship. Small flat rate box 4 pounds to GB is 34usd, 3 pounds package 33usd Are there any snuff sites that charge post similar to this? Even if you round both up to 40usd to cover tape and bags and maybe even the old idea of a handling fee where you pay someone specifically to place your items into a box and put tape on it you should still see some places that charge what seems to me a reasonable price to cover the cost of making their sale in the first place. How many people load up their cart, see the price to ship it and just say f it? Well I’m just grumbling I guess, cost of product 188usd which I’m happy with, but they lost me on cost to ship 3 pounds for 98usd. Is there a hidden cost I’m unaware of when I priced out the cost it would be for me to ship the same weight to their address? Am I the one being unreasonable here?
As I understand it there is no flat rate shipping from the UK, all shipping is by weight only so it gets much more expensive than shipping from the US.
I think some if not most of that is handling fee [At some un named on line shop]. Shop direct if available, the product is also fresher.
Roderick, I’ve checked you out, your rates are indeed very reasonable, Toque is an exemplary company in every category.
McChrystal’s USA and Poschl USA are both offering free shipping right now… if you can get the promo codes to work. =)
