popsjumper 2 #26 April 17, 2012 QuoteI went to order a pair of Flex Z mini goggles. They were 16.95. BUT they wanted 12.95 to mail them to me? Is this not a tad high I live in North Carolina. 13.00 dollars to mail a 5oz package in a little envelope from Florida. Seems a tad high so I did not get them. Do not know if that is standard shipping price on all products or not. Shipping costs have nothing to do with C-star. They make no profit on shipping. Those charges are direct from the shipping company. USPS snail mail is cheapest in the U.S. Just out of curiosity, was that for Fedex? Overnight?My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep. UPS is expensive. Snail mail is relatively cheap. It IS funny though how sometimes it costs more to ship than the item is worth but that's no different than any other phone/internet order business. In my experience, UPS and Fedex are more reliable than USPS. Plus, you have easier recourse if something is lost or damaged. Solution: Buys loads of stuff at one time.

Had to figure out if buying the goggles was worth skipping lunch and dinner without costing me a weekend jump. Of course it is. Donating blood this week to buy the book parachute and its pilot.

"If I buy this, it's going to cost me X number of jumps" Of course it is. Donating blood this week to buy the book parachute and its pilot. LIFE IS GOOD! Yep. You'll soon be researching recipes for Ramen noodles, too. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
