'why are your postage costs so high?'

[misdee]

errrrrrr.

just got a message about my postage costs for my bears. I am sending them out 2nd class record. £5 for first bear, £1 for each additional, £8 overseas.

it does seem high admittingly. but each bear varies in weight, the cheapest postage has been £1.90, the heaviest has been £3.50 so far, but i havent got onto the heaviests ones yet. and then there is packaging costs on top.

Is it really that unreasonable? the postages costs are clearly stated. will they neg me?

do i really care lol.

Agree with you Fimbo about P&P costs too high on ebay. Buy-it-now articles are the worst offenders, some are ridiculous.

Bought dd's pushchair off ebay, one b.i.n. seller wanted £22.00 postage for same thing which cost us £9.95 postage. Also some of them would not let people collect in person, obviously hoping to benefit from high postal charges.

for pushchairs the costs do vary depending on how you send them. i sent one yesterday for £6.99 24hour delivery as was able to wait in for a courier, if i took it to parcelforce myself, 48hr would cost £20!!

agree - puts me off buying something when postage is silly prices. but the thing that makes me laugh most if when they try to charge you to collect something in person. why??

lol mysonmummy. i've had that. 'its for waiting in time' LMAO.

even if i send books out i wrap them in padded envolopes.

And freqeuntly postage cost much higher than cost of item
