___Shipping charge anomalies...
Has anyone noticed the recent spike in USPS ground shipping charges? I had a winning bidder ask me to cancel his winning bid because shipping was too much and another retract a bid on something else for the same reason.
When gas was super expensive, I shifted to USPS ground shipping because it was the lowest cost option, but recently I see that it's definitely not the lowest cost. In fact, I changed a finished auction shipping from USPS ground to UPS ground and it was half as much. Half.
Also, I'm suddenly getting these extra charges for UPS ground shipments that come through ebay, and two showed same weight, while another showed double the weight I initially paid for.
Three different shipments, all different weights to different places, and the same $12.95 charge each time.
What's going on?!

·2 years agoYou were shipping Pelican suitcases as is without a box? Did you get any customer complaints about that? When hubby bought his, they were in boxes. Why start off with a scratched suitcase?

·2 years agoThey care about the issues that products which are not in a box cause in their trucks. They create issues in filling the truck efficiently. You pay for that, since the more product which fits in the truck, the bigger the profit UPS makes.

·2 years agoUPS charges penalties for a variety of problems. $12.95 is about what I remember address correction costing. I am wrong. The current fee is @$21.
Many sellers fail to enter the correct dimensions and get hit with dimensional weight charges. Often the outside dimensions of a box are larger than the size you thought you bought because boxes are usually sold on interior size.
