Thread: Seriously $14.95 shipping????

Ok so maybe I am wrong, but I won a gillete fatboy for $14 and the shipping is 14.95 from Minnesota to Arizona??? I have shipped razors to Portugal and Germany for less!

Am I over reacting??


sorry for the rant.

No, it's a typical ploy of some eBay sellers. Next time, check the shipping costs before you place a bid, and consider this an educational experience.

I did check, it said free! until I won...then it said 14.95 large flat rate expidited usps box.

why the hell does a 3in razor require a LARGE flat rate box!!!! the small box is $5 and more than big enough for the razor!!

Maybe it said "Free with Buy It Now"? Have you asked the seller about the change from free shipping?

I asked him about the $14.95 price tag and questioned about it stating that it should not cost that much to ship to AZ as I have shipped all over the world for half that price. He said "I'm sure it is."

....me no happy right now.....

It is nuts, but at least you know going in so you can calculate the total cost and bid accordingly.

Sellers didn't used to pay a fee on the shipping, so it was a trick for them to make a little more. Last I heard, sellers were paying a bigger fee on the shipping than the sales price, but I don't keep up with things like that.

I can't say I blame you. Did you find out why the shipping changed from "Free"?

See If it had said 14.95 for shipping I would not have bid!

SO what are my options, tell him I dont want to pay that and get -feedback?
or give him less that +feedback once I recieve the item?

I dont like this. Most Ebayer's I deal with are great people who accurately advertise and are more than willing to work with you!

No he has not responded to the change, I just want him to change from a large box to the small one....

I hope you took a screenshot of the ad saying "free shipping" right after you placed your bid
