Lately I have been noticing shipping costs being pretty high for some things,
not sure why I can get marble bases shipped from JDS or Marco for $15 or so,
but another company wants $30 to ship an 8x10 crystal rectangle. I recently
ordered an eagle statue (actually 14 of them) and about fell into my grave
when they charged $45+ shipping on each one. We had a pretty long discusion
on that one. Shipping ate up my whole profit.
Sooooo..... the reason I am posting this esp for newcomers, you may want to
double check on shipping costs if it isnt an item you normally buy.
For the life of me I don't know why the eagle company didn't ship them on a pallet
to save a few $$ or why some of the designers at the manufacterers don't take into
consideration shipping costs. They may have been able to make the package an inch
or so smaller so it wasn't considered oversize by UPS and cut shipping in half.......
Just some thoughts....
