Have you shipped anything lately? Prices are stupid.

This seems to be a common issue with PSA shipping lately.

I wish all merchants aligned with EE rules. You either buy insurance as the shipper, or elect to self insure.
If I'm paying you shipping, it's your job to get it to me with whatever contractor you so choose. Not paying an extra $4 for shipping protection / insurance doesn't indemnify the seller from holding up their end of the bargain by getting the item I paid for, and then paid the seller to hire someone to ship it to me, from responsibility. Derailment / soap box rant over. |

I assume PSA means “shipping and handling,” so in your example, how much did you charge yourself for handling? Or do you handle yourself for free? |

I have at least two complaints weekly from our customers demanding that we are charging too much for shipping. UPS and Fedex are adding in all kinds of dumb shit charges the last few years and costs are stupid to some areas.

Yup this burned my ass. I had a pretty good order in the cart and said fuck it and left. I just didn't need anything that bad.

Insurance is NOT included in the price - but I can add it for more money. What am I missing here?

Why would it matter which lowers I order for shipping costs??? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53661978257_5cb2939bf3_b.jpg versus https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53662859396_f06bfb5cbd_b.jpg View Quote We are fixing the 601 that is coming up $18/lower.

Thanks, Josiah View Quote @PalmettoStateArmory Can you also fix the other two H&R receivers I mentioned? The XM607 and the XM16E1? Those are also $18 shipped EACH as pictured above. |

Please take a look at all of the H&R lowers, other than ones already mentioned, they all show $18 shipping per lower, regardless of quantity. I was specially looking at the 9mm H&R lowers. The high shipping has kept from pulling the trigger on another lower, kept hoping there might be a sale and/or free shipping at some point. I should have posted here before paying the $18 shipping on my last H&R.
