| ..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 ing bull.. 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. :eyes: |

| 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...

| 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 ed 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 ing 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 ing dicks |

Hmm...sounds like it this "ing" dick is trying to scam some off you while selling records...
I sell my records regularly and I tend to charge $6.50 for the first vinyl which Canada Post charges me for registered postage (in fact Canada Post charges me CAD $15 for it) so I am making a loss on shipping....anyways, an additional vinyl I would charge an extra US $ 1.00...next time...stay away from such morons..
P/S Since it is only 400 miles, I suggest you take a drive down and shove a record up his a-s-s... :) spit on him and throw some shipping change while you are at it.. j/k
Cheers :) |

| 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> |

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 :whip: |
