Com'on Rob, $9.92 for shipping an FChat hat is TOO much!

There is little markup, if any, on the products so throwing them a bone should not be that big of a deal. Also with the shipping, comes the box it comes in and the tape used to close it.

Focus on getting rid of Ashley Simpson rather then $5.

 

He probably isnt marking up the shipping. IMO shipping something 1lb ground with residential delivery for $4.10 is BS unless you're on the super duper discount plan - just my experience.

Let's try it out.... let's say Rob is in Plano, TX and you are in Sonora, CA and he's shipping a 1lb package to your home. Hold on while I go to UPS.com


Ok, UPS quotes $10.41. For GROUND. That's a 1lb package. That's straight from UPS.com.

Their prices have gone up a lot lately. I shipped a 1lb package from Bostom to Maine (about 100 miles) and it was over $9. So, IMO the complaint is unwarranted. UPS prices have risen sharply and it seems I never pay less than $5 for a shipment anymore. Ever.

 

On the flip side, I fedex'd overnight my suitcase from Manhattan to my house in LA for $62.00 so.....who knows.....

 

Of course, Rob isn't the one actually making, selling, pricing nor shipping the items, so you're directing your ire in the wrong direction

 

ACTUALLY PETE

I BELIEVE THE HAT CAME FROM DAVE IN PENNSYLVANIA, WHICH IS ZONE 8, FROM PA TO CALI...

IM NOT SURE AND YOU HAVE TO CHECK WITH ROB/DAVE...BUT I MIGHT BE RIGHT

KEEP YOUR PANTIES ON TILL YOU HEAR FROM EITHER OF THEM


PS...I SHIP ABOUT 20-30 CARTONS A DAY BY UPS, AND DONT FORGET ABOUT THE EXTRA SURCHARGE OF 2.00 FOR RESIDENTIAL DELIVERY TOO

YOUR BROTHER

PETE. IT SHIPS FROM PA!!! MY LOCATION.

Did you go all the way to checkout? Notice that is says ESTIMATED freight as you go along. It should wind it down to the proper rate when you go to checkout. don't forget to include the weight of the box.

I'm charging based on my UPS rates, provided to me by the Prostores website software.

I have not checked every rate, to every zone, in the entire USA for every item, but the ones I did check seemed ok.

One glitch it seems to have is that doesn't differentiate between residential and commercial rates. I've talked to the software guys about it, and they will work on it, it's charging residential to every location.

PETER, PLEASE TRY AGAIN.

Rob does not work on this site. It's my baby.

Now, as a show of good faith, I'll be happy to ship you a hat, freight free.

Just put in your order.

Shipping via USPS Priority Mail is $4.10 for items less than a pound. Perhaps this is what he meant by $4.10.

 

Shipping to Texas UPS ground is only $6.95. Not a bad deal if I do say so myself.

 

Priority mail isn't an option until the sofware guys offer multiple shipping options. Right now, I have to pick one, and UPS is my best bet.

I'm working on getting a discount from UPS, and when I do, I'll pass it along.

However, UPS includes insurace to $100, and that cust costs a little. It also provides tracking and delivery receipts at no extra charge, which helps me out.

Dave

 

So, where's your order????

You'd look great in a FerrariChat Ping T-shirt, with a contrasting cap.

And just you wait for that FerrariChat mug and plush stuffed horse with FerrariChat bandana.

YOWZER!!

DM

 

PeterS = Kanye?

 

The software allows for discounts or surcharges on freight. I'm not doing either. I also am not charging to box, wrap, pack or handle. I'm not charging for the packaging (around a buck an order).

It's the COST OF UPS TO ME, PASSED TO YOU.

I ***** on Ebay every time the shipper charges 3X the actual cost, without disclosing it. I think that's BS too.

The disclaimer is stock for the site, required I'm sure by UPS to avoid their getting sued by someone.

Ya know Pete, I love ya', but you sure are a ball buster.

Dave

 

Wait, so Dave is the one profiteering on shipping?

Dave, I knew you had a republican deep down screaming to get out!


P.S. Hasn't UPS upped their residential surcharge? I believe it is now $2.50 instead of the previous $2. They also recently upped their fuel surchage a *lot*. They used to be cheaper than US postal but now USPS is a lot less than the prices I've seen at UPS.

 

UH OH. You've got me now. Actually, since starting this site, I've registered Republican and will be adding a ten dollar surcharge to all orders from anyone who is not able to prove they voted for Reagan twice and Bush three times.

Fuel surcharge is 4 or 5% right now, I think. I always thought the residential charge was a sliding scale. Now I'm going to have to check that. And somehow, on our bill, UPS always seems to catch those residential/commercial mistakes, so there's no sneaking one past them.

DM

 

Dave would my shipping cost $.05?

 

You can pick it up at the will call window. No charge. you just have to drive to Aston, PA
