Apparently Jabbawokkie they are not meant to make a profit on postage sure a small amount for handling fees they seem to allow as long as its not called a handling fees(go figure) but if they have made money on it ie cost $5 and they have charged $10-$15 you should be able to get some back!But we all know how screwed ebay is so you just never know with them if they will actually do something or not!
I would try if it is way over cost though for sure!!

Hello.

I just bought a modern Starwars toyy. Its the Jedi spirit set of characters. It was $10 then the guy sent me an invoice for $33 for postage so all in he wants $43.
Does this sound correct.I feel ripped off by the postage costs.
Also this is suppossed to be standard flat rate with out tracking faciltiys.

Cheers,

Grant.

I take it it is from the states Grant? If so it sounds about right to the u.k where you are !But insurance etc should only be a couple of $ more!

No probs Grant !When you do the checkout it should have the add insurance option!I dont know if you will get stung customs fees as we dont here but I have heard some horror storys before from people in the UK getting stung badly by the mugs!

It does sound a bit high - it should probably be nearer $15-$20 for standard flat rate airmail from the US. Maybe the seller is using a massive box pushing it into a higher price level?

Either way at $10 for the item and a minimum for $15 postage I'm sure you could have got cheaper or as cheap in the UK?

 

[Bollux]

that sounds far too much!

As the item is under £18 in value there is no danger of getting stung by any import duty, fees and VAT.

 

[Josh]

Sweet !

Isnt the box quite big that they come in? Or am I thinking of something else?
What I am saying is it bigger than a normal MOC item!
I wouldnt know what your rates are to UK but to OZ it sounds about right going on what I pay to get stuff from the states and sent to me also from the UK!

Josh

 

[Bollux]

That is waaaaaayyy over priced!!! :lol:

$33 these days is £21 and if it is the Power of the Force set they are really light and if it arrives costing him more than $10 I will be amazed. :wink:

If it's the figures I'm thinking of I had a complete set of all the different scenes ages ago and unless prices have gone up you could get them for around £10 each including p&p from UK sellers.

Hi Craig.

I bought it from the US. i paid the the guy, It was a shock tho with the postage being 3X the amount of the price of the purchase itself.

Cheers mate,

Grant.
