I AM WRITING THIS GUIDE TO LET MY CUSTOMERS AND ALL EBAYERS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE PAYING FOR WHEN I CHARGE THEM FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING. EBAY GIVES ME A WARNING WHEN I PUT AN AUCTION UP FOR EXCESS SHIPPING CHARGES IN MY CATAGORY. I SELL SHARK TEETH AND SHARK TEETH NECKLACES. FIRST, THE SELLERS THAT CHARGE THE LOWER PRICE IS SHIPPING IN A BUBBLE WRAP ENVELOPE AT A NORMAL COST OF $1.05 FOR THE ACTUAL SHIPPING. BUT THAT SAME SELLER CHARGES $2-$4 FOR SHIPPING IN A BUBBLE WRAP ENVELOPE. JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR PRECIOUS ONE OF A KIND SHARK TOOTH SMASHED BECAUSE OF THE BUBBLE WRAP ENVELOPE DOESN'T PROTECT A FRAGILE ITEM SUCH AS A FOSSIL OR MODERN SHARK TOOTH.

I SHIP IN BROWN CORREGATED 4" SQUARE BOXES AND UP IN SIZE. I CHARGE $4 DOMESTIC USPS FIRST CLASS AIRMAIL, WITH DELIVERY CONFIRMATION. $5-$6 INTERNATIONAL FOR  USPS FIRST CLASS AIRMAIL INTERNATIONAL FOR INTERNATIONAL COUNTRIES. MY SHIPPING COST ARE BETWEEN $2-$4. NOW, WHO WOULD YOU WANT TO TRUST TO SHIP YOUR PRECIOUS SHARK TOOTH, ME OR THE BUBBLE WRAP SELLER.

I STILL HAVE TO DRIVE TO THE POST OFFICE EVERY TIME I SHIP OUT. THE COST OF GAS, OVERHEAD EXPENSES, ETC., DOESN'T LEAVE ME ANY ROOM FOR MAKING A PROFIT OFF SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES.

LOW COST SHIPPING DOES NOT GUARANTEE A SAFE DELIVERY WITH A BUBBLE WRAP ENVELOPE.. I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO A SHARK TOOTH THAT IS SHIPPED IN A BUBBLE WRAP ENVELOPE.....

I GUARANTEE MY SHIPMENTS IF INSURED DOMESTICALLY, AND EVERYONE OF MY CUSTOMERS WILL TELL YOU HOW SAFE MY SHIPPING IS AND HAS BEEN SINCE 2002...

SO BUYERS BEWARE OF THE SHIPPING COSTS IF THEY ARE LOW. ASK WHAT THE SELLER SHIPS THEIR PRODUCT IN AND WHICH METHOD OF SHIPPING???

YOU, THE BUYER MUST MAKE THE DECISION TO WHICH SELLER THEY WANT TO TRUST THEIR MONEY TOO AND EXPECT A SAFE AND FAST SHIP.

I ABIDE IN ALL EBAY RULES AND REGS, BUT I JUST HAD TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SHIPPING IN A BUBBLE WRAP ENVELOPE COMPARED TO SHIPPING IN A BOX...

I REALLY HOPE THAT ALL THAT READ THIS FINDS IT HELPFUL.

I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS LONGER THAN MOST SELLERS ARE OLD. SO I HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SHIPPING AND HANDLING SUCCESSFULLY..

I AM 63 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN MAKING SHARK TEETH NECKLACES SINCE 1968.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME... SHARK2THHUNTER
