argh. I hate when they do this.

$20 worth of a 6oz item.
it would fit in a small box.. 8x8x8" is probably sufficient.

I'm being charged ~$30 for shipping?

fvck that. the shipping is maybe $5 at the most. $8 if its a bad day. over 30 dollars?




I'd tell him to go fvck himself, but last time I did that I got a negative eval. :p

I hate that too... I've shipped things before and I know what they cost... no one charges exact costs, most charge much, much more... :(

did you know the shipping charges before you bid? if so then you shouldn't have bid. otherwise you can always ask the seller how much it costs to ship to your area.

Where's the auction? Do you have a link?

If the $30 price was quoted in the auction, then STHU :p

The auction says $9 to the US, which is padded. but i figured +$2 for canada, not +$20.

Should have asked him before bidding instead of "guessing" how much it would cost to ship up to frigid land;)

Do you have any friends to mail to in the US. They can forward to you. Much cheaper than $30.

I suppose so, but I'd rather not hassle them over it.

yeap while I feel bad for you, it is your fault. You should have contacted them before you bid and found out if they would even ship to .CA let alone what the $ would be. Sucks but its the truth.
Just repectfully bow out and don't buy it... worst case is a bad rating....

I'm still fighting my damn ebay battle with the guy that listed NO shipping fee and I gave him $1 and hes asking for $11 more.
pfft

I don't feel bad for you at all. Ask before you bid. It costs alot to ship to Canada, and it sometimes doesn't work with the whole taxes and things. I just got a bill for $25 in the mail from FedEx for some stupid tax thing that I had no idea about, for shipping something to a guy in Canada..6 months ago.
