Post subject: Sellers charging wayyyy to much for shipping.. Posted: 10 Dec 2013, 01:18 |

What is it with ebay and sellers charging 14-16 dollars to ship out 5 laserdiscs? Only to find out they shipped it media mail! We should start a list here of sellers that charge obnoxious amounts of money for shipping

Yes, you are correct sir - and I'm so excited I can't hardly wait. It's being shipped to me directly from Pioneer in Japan on Monday. I never thought I'd get to own one - now I have to find room for it among my 2 Runco's, MSB LS-1, EAD TheaterVision, LD-W1, CLD-1010, CDV-488, LD-1100 and my new Oppo BDT-105 Blu-ray player that has an input to allow you to use the player as a scaler, NR unit, ProcAmp, etc... The XO weighs 80 pounds, right? BTW, the Oppo's audio section was designed by Mark S. Brasfield, designer of the Runco LJR-I and Founder of MSB.

thanks for the advice it is much appreciated. Ebay ended up giving me a 15 dollar coupon as the seller wouldn't respond to me. Which works out in the end anyways cause I'll end up spending it there lol. I think the seller thought the items were going to go for more but they didn't so they tried to make their money up by charging a different price and pocketing the rest. Even with the overcharge for shipping I still got 7 laserdiscs for $2.80 a piece, still content with the condition and everything I prefer to get what I paid for. I paid for shipping a and got shipping b. I wish I could order from japan..the wife is nice enough to even allow me to have laserdiscs so I can't really push it just yet with crazy packages. I use to import video games from japan so I know how crazy those shipping prices can get if you want your package safely and before the turn of the century lol congrats on your package disclord

There are so many Ebay sellers with large LD inventories who offer FREE shipping on 5 or 6 discs that I wouldn't even dream of paying $15 for shipping.

I suppose you are referring to USA sellers with USA shipping. I would LOVE to pay that kind of shipping costs. France is more expensive than that. Rest of the world is... complicated. Singapore just "simplified" their price list. Where it used to be by steps of 0.5Kg, now it jumps from 2 to 5 to 10 Kg. Shipping 5~6 discs Airmail today costs above $80. And we're not even talking about EMS. Julien

I suspect it would cost quite a bit if I had to return an item though. One would think it would cost less to ship something domestically within Singapore than to ship it to the USA. Perhaps some Asian countries subsidize shipping costs on items sold to America to promote international trade.
