Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 good points. I got a bad mark on eBay thanks to a person who charged $3.00+ on a $0.45 item and that was JUST the shipping. sheesh! She didn't like that I spoke up and told what she had done. It is hardly worth complaining about a vendor. Seems like all they do is make you look bad if you make a true statement. I don't buy from the Chemistry Store either. I figure they should just roll it up in the price. But I guess it works for them since so many people talk about them. Hope you get moved soon. Moving can be nerve wrecking. At one point in my younger days my then BF and I used to move every 6 months. Sheesh. But at least it wasn't from house to house. It was only apts. I got real good at how to pack things. Joyce S.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 I know what you mean, I had a lady charge me 7.00 shipping on a 1 pound item in a sale once, pee'd me off. If she wanted more she should have said so, when I mentioned I checked p.o. total was 3.85, she griped about pkging supplies, gas, time etc, so when the pkg came it's packed in you guessed it, newpaper and USPS priority shipping box. She even used prior tape to close the box~< Hello, my po gives me that for free, Ummmmm, aren't those boxes FREE as well, I know mine are~? So lesson learned, just won't order from her again. As far as the chemistry store, the $5.00 shipping and handling charge fee, i don't mind as long as I'm ordering quite a bit, but 5.00 shipping on say a box of herbs or something~~~~~ a little much for my taste as well so I usually go elsewhere~ JMHO Sindy - Joyce good points.
