don't you hate shipping prices?
..ok im not talking about overseas shipping rates.. im talking about shipping w/in the united states.. this one ****** on eBay has a store in Las Vegas which is about 400 miles from where i live.. and this guy charges a flat shipping rate of $6 for the first and $3 for each additional record.. personally i think thats fucking bullshit.. he has 4 auctions today that i want to win but im not about to pay him $15 to ship those records only 400 miles.. thats insane and he ships it regular mail, not even ups overnite (which is what i should get for that outrageous shipping charge) so its his stupid shipping costs that keep me from getting some pretty tight records.. ah oh well..
i'm willing to bet that a part of that shipping costs actually go INTO his pocket. when i bid on ebay i always ask twice about shipping if it appears ridiculously expensive and not to my surprise, they tend to end up cheaper on the second time you ask. 
Suck it up princess ... hehehe. Nobody is forcing you to buy from him. If you want those records THAT bad, you'll pay for his overinflated shipping costs.
I know who you are talking about, and yeah their shipping rate is pretty high(it's a company, not just one person)
But they are not shipping the records with regular mail, they are shipping them via USPS Priority Mail, which takes 2 - 3 day.
You can't have them shipped to you via goddamn UPS Overnight for $15!!! It will cost about 20 bucks.
And yeah, that's what EVERYBODY does on eBay(even me, I make $250+/month on shipping charges...)
Most definitely it costs $7.70 for that company who you are talking about to ship the records, but that's what everybody does, you can't do anyhtign about it. Life is a bitch, Suck it up man...
Peace
i just think that sucks.. and as a company its even worse.. what kinda company have you ever ordered from that charges a flat shipping fee? none that i have ever ordered from.. u should be paying exact shipping.. i guess im just to nice cos when i do ebay auctions i always charge the seller exact shipping charges.. but if u are making 250 bux each month off shipping charges alone.. i should start dicking people for shipping too!
lol, that's the way it is man. I'm making 250+ just because I'm selling a lot of stuff. But seriously, that's what everybody does man.
By the way, be wise, don't buy anything from them, their records are always warped, or scratched and they are ALWAYS used! This way you won't have to pay for shipping that much AND you won't have fucked up records. My advise is just buy your vinyls from definitely online stores like dancegrooves, juno, only djs stores like that...
oh trust me.. when it comes to money. im a fucking cheap ass.. i hardly ever order online anyways.. but when i do, its usually from sites that offer free shipping w/ bulk orders (usually 5+).. and from ebay i only buy when i can snipe a record for a hella cheap price, that way shipping isn't so harmful.. but i vow to never buy from those ******s.. i emailed them and they were dicks.. and if u read their responses to their negative feedback.. they are fucking dicks

spit on him and throw some shipping change while you are at it.. j/k
hahaithink i knowwho u ordered from, their ebay name used to be radiusrecords, theyripped me off and the shipping packaging sucked too. What sucks is that they have a lot of tunes that are good. i think theyare claled djvinylsatcost.... they gave me negative feedback because of the comments i gavve them, it was positive too, i should have just gave negative. Whatever youdo, just wait till theygive you feedback then you give it to them. Ebay has lots of rip off shipping. Also pssl.com and others too, 7 bucks to ship a cartiridge..YEAH RIGHT>

| Originally posted by Dmatrox I was going to say that. Yeah, if those are the shipping charges you should report the company to BBB (better business bureau), do they have that in the US? Hmm example, if you buy 11 records @ $10 american, that equals $110, shipping will be $36. Just a little too much. Maybe by $5 |
it is djvinylatcost and that company can go blow a goat! it sucks that he has such good records.. this is the thing.. to ship usps priority mail costs 3.50, throw in a box is just like 1 dollar more.. adding extra vinyl will not cos shipping to go up because records weigh very little... but i guess that guy has good business so for all the people out there that don't mind his shipping charges, he will continue to get business.. but i don't want to deal w/ him because he seems like an ass.. just read his replies to his negative feedbacks.. total loser! .. but he is a total loser w/ a good selection of records 
Acually THEY are idiots. Read my feedback i got from them. Its annoying they say, we post feedback at the end of the month becaue we use blah blha.. but when i gave them a negative they didnt hesitate to give me negative. My other friend didnt pay because of stuff they keep saying i'm a SHE too, they too caught up about 'we are more than 1' ...stupid asses... NOt like we give a damn. Having to pay 7 bucks for shipping gives me the right to call them wahtever they want, even low lifes..
man if only - djs .com had decent shipping prices i would buy from them everyday
That's why HMV is my fav online store..
I can literally order 100 records and pay only 10 quids for p&p to Bangkok...
Plus these days they even list promos and test presses on their store as well..
i hate HMV. they say that they can ship stuff within 3, 5, 7 days or so but thats so untrue. they don't have shit in their stock, i've waiting 6 weeks already and only 1 vinyl came. so i had to pay for that and the shipping which is like 5.5 GBP. then i can see where this is going. after probably another few weeks, they'll just say that they can't bring me the goods and then cancel the rest of my order. i basically get shafted for paying 5.5 GBP to ship one vinyl (urban train). cuz the next item only cost 0.5 GBP each after the first but since it appears i may not get my other items. i'm getting fucked big time on shipping for urban train.
which sucks more is the fact that i have seen those other ones available everywhere else (ransom - my dance, 4 strings - into the night, nu-nrg - dreamland) but they couldn't get ahold of even 1 for me? fuck that. thats what i call shit service.
For me to not defend HMV will make me a traitor.. Their service has always been top notch. Couple of weeks ago my computer wasn't working and so I mailed them with my list.. They manually place order on their system for me. It also happened that the day they got my mail some records went from 2.99 to 4.99 .. so I told them about it and they reduced all the prices just for me.. Now that I've left UK and some records are still outstanding they're going to ship the rest to Bangkok along with few other vinyls i requested to ship along..and I don't have to pay an extra pence for all that! Lots of other incidents they have served me well.
Anyway, MARK .. the rest of your order I'm sure they'll ship them out sooner or later. Or you can just mail them about it.
