Post by: AmericanDemon on October 22, 2005, 12:22:50 pm: was the $7.00 shipping in a tube?

Post by: melidian on October 22, 2005, 01:10:43 pm: It's flat but I could put it in a tube...the $7.00 isn't set in stone that's just the ebay shipping cost.

Post by: SOAPboy on October 22, 2005, 09:57:36 pm: K.. well if you COULD, do me a favor..

Goto the post office, and look at the cost of a tube.. A guy here shipped me some side art in one for a few bucks..

And if you have ALOT of those, id suggest going to office depot, and buying a few PACKS of tubes to send them in.. that way shipping will be cheaper..

And yes, ship that crap USPS, itll get there just as fast and save everyone money.. :)

Figure it out, i might end up buying one, as my CP looks like ass right now :)

Post by: melidian on October 23, 2005, 12:31:27 am: i guess i can just do $3.85 for priority mail and find out if some sort of media mail is cheaper than that.

Post by: markrvp on October 23, 2005, 01:45:52 pm: Where did the attitude on this board come from that everyone is owed something for nothing?
Title: Re: FS or FA: Diamond Plate CPO
Post by: LPZ on October 23, 2005, 02:00:54 pm: I agree that 7 bucks is not unreasonable, but I was stating that if the shipping was cheaper, I probably buy one. Besides, how long does it take to write down a mailing address and put a piece of paper in a tube? Maybe 4 or 5 minutes? Hit the post office, combining it with another trip and you might have 10 minutes invested total. So it costs you 3.85 to ship and you charge 7.00--net profit of 3.15 minus supplies. Not a bad profit for 10 minutes work. If a customer tells me that he would buy more product if it was cheaper, I would listen to him and try to cater so I could make some more sales. I didn't want to come off like I had attitude, just wanted to do business on another level.

Post by: melidian on October 23, 2005, 03:40:21 pm: much appreciated markrvp! i love to work with most on this board so no big deal, my ebay shipping cost more accurately represents the fees, gas, etc. and all that but on here and the newsgroups i tend to do what i can to help people out. i actually lose money on the tmolding shipping because i just charge $5.00 no matter how much but ont the overlay i just can't do it. thanks everyone for the orders, etc.!

Post by: Goz on October 24, 2005, 09:02:52 am: Chris,

Silly question... If a person buys multiple and you are able to ship 2 or 3 in a tube would the $5 to $7 for shipping be per tube, etc? or per unit. I'm ready to pay ya for some, but would like to know how much shipping would be for 2.
