$110 to ship a zzse from canada to aus?????

betty.k · Post by **betty.k** » Thu May 12, 2005 2:45 am

i thought i was doing well when i snapped up 2 new se's for $12 on the bay. then i get the invoice and the international shipping is $110!!??

here's the seller
http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQ ... Zhabib8276

at first i'm thinking it's a typo or something but ph2t emailed him asking about it and it's correct, this arsehole wants me to believe it's that expensive.
what also shits me is he's still not replied to my mail when ph2t got a response in 5 minutes.

i did a little searching at canada post and the most it would cost to send 1.5 kg (3.5lb) is $80can and that's with the super speedy international courier service.
i'm sure 2 x zzse's only weigh 1kg anyway.

Contact Ebay about his high Shipping cost. Ebay don't like it when they loose money on a transaction. Shipping cost aren't added into the fee Habib has to pay.

thanks forthe tip cj, i've informed the bay. no idea how that will help me though, this is the email i got from him:

I have chosen to ship your zip zaps seperately as sending
them together is actually more expensive. Shipping to
austrailia is very expensive, and it is reflected in the
shipping and handling. As soon as I receive your payment,
your items will be shipped in the following 48 hours

the guy actually thinks he's doing me a favour by charging us$220 to ship 2 se's to me!!! i'm going outta my farkin head over here in disbeleif!!!!!!

i bit into a big chunk of leather and wrote a (restrained) reply:

i wrote:dude, with all due respect that's a pile of horsecrap.
i did an estimate for shipping through canada post and the most it
would cost for you to send these boxes is $80can. and that's using the
international courier service. and i overestimated size and weight

i'll concede that canada post is more expensive than other countries
but i ship stuff to and recieve goods from canada often and the
charges are nothing like the outrageous "$110us" you have quoted me.

if you are not willing to give me a realistic shipping price i will
make arrangements for you to mail the cars to a canadian friend of
mine and have them send it to me.

i figured calling him a CUNTINGFUCKINLOWPEICEOFSNOTSHITEATERCUNTFUCKINGCUNTCUNT would have got me nowhere!

HaHaHaHaHa !!!!!!!

That's just fuck'n outrageous. I NEVER bid on anything coming outta Canada, or Aus just because of the shipping, unless they quote a reasonable price for it. That makes the great price of the merchandise null & void

I stay right here in the good ol US if at all possible.

I've bought several things from both down under and from America's hat, and always watch the shipping. I've been lucky to say the least.

This dude has to be a total moron for someone to beleive that a package is going to cost that much to send to Aussyland. Fuck him.

If ANYONE, ANYWHERE, EVER wants stock RS stuff, just ask, and I'll do my best to get it to you quickly. I will be more than happy to pick it up for you and ship it AT COST, not asshole prices.

Just be careful who you extend that offer to. Some people will jump all over ya if you don't get it done within a week.

Theres no way in hell lol. I shipped 3 stock xmods ( NIB ) to a friend in the UK. Shipping was 32 dollars all together, even with the customs he had to pay.

I ship international all the time and I never charge outrageous prices there is no need to!! This guy is being a real prick and should be reported to anyone and everyone that will listen!! I have over 1,200 feedback and Have never known shipping for items like that to be over $20.00 USD as long as its under 4 pounds shipping is about $12.00 USD to Australia!

i say screw that guy sent him a penny for the shit. and tell him that his crap only cost one penny and the shipping cost free. screw him. i would just put this aside report it to ebay. then if he want to come back sent the email to ebay telling them that this was wat was sent to you for the shipping price. i have 460 feedback and the most i evered payed for shipping was 30 and that was from the uk to the us with a weight of 8lbs. i say f this guy up. btw im gonna email him about the item rx7 he have there and see how much shipping is =}. just to mess around with him lol.

I have measured each zip zaps dimensions, and the estimate
canada post gave me was 91.17 per zip zap. Add in
handling, and its not that unreasonable. If you like, I
can ship them via a slower service, which will drop
shipping to $95US per zip zap

slower shipping costs $4 more?????? $36(usd!) packing and handling is not that unreasonable???????????????
aaaackk! cough! gurgle!! hack! spew!!! i'm choking on my fucking rage over here!!!!

i'm thinking i'll just pay him for the cars and tell him to shove those fucking things up his fucking arse sideways!!!

i'd like to add that this is just one fuckball individual. i've had perfectly good deals with canadians before and while canada post is pretty expensive for international stuff i've always paid perfectly reasonable shipping costs in the past.

Just don't give into him. Email Ebay again if you have to...

@betty...What's up with your thread @ Ausmicro? It's all fucked up?

dunno about that thread, weird huh!

Betty, don't pay that fuckin asshat one fuckin penny.. That shit is illegal as all fuckin hell....

Ebay will never go for that... That shit is a form of controlled extorsion, and is bullshit. Write him a reply telling him to fuck his mother, and have her pay it if it's such a decent price.

Give that prick negative feedback, and reem his ass, and when he rebutts the feedback, reem his ass with another feedback. You can go back and forth in feedback giving.

Explain your plight in his feedback for all to see, and kill his name.
