$59 to ship via UPS ground WTF ?

[sean2002]

I was looking a Royal Camera to by a Sony TVR730 digital camcorder for my wife for christmas. Right before I clicked order I noticed they want $59 to ship USP ground !, and $69 for 2nd day. When I called to ask why shipping was so high he said,

<< It's my company and I can charge whatever the hell I feel like to ship >>

and thats verbatim. So I gave him a peice of my mind and hund up. So I went to www.resellerratings.com and guess what, they have a score of 0.0 with 5 people voting

dizamn... that sucks.. shipping definitly gets abused by a lot of companies.. but 59 bucks! sheesh

Wow...I wonder how many people click order without noticing.

And I thought Ebay sellers had high shipping rates.....

well a lot of times you have to consider that most of these online places sell their product at cost to have the lowest price and make all their money on shipping. but $59 for a camera via ups ground is waay to much.

that must be one heavy camera........hell i could ship 12 pounds overnight coast to coast with that much for shipping.

What an a-holish thing to tell a potential customer! What company is it?

It's a Yahoo! store to boot, go figure.


edit: wording changed.

Same experience with www.ubid.com. Super excessive shipping fees..
