I HAVE BEEN THE VICTIM OF THE SHIPPING ARGUNENT. HOW CAN ONE PERSON SEND A PACKAGE ALL THE WAY ACCROSS THE COUNTRY FOR SAY 38.00 AND ANOTHER PERSON SELLING THE SAME WANT 142.00 TO SHIP A PACKAGE OF THE SAME WEIGHT AND SIZE TO ALMOST THE SAME DISTANCE. WELL IT NOT THAT SIMPLE AFTER ALL. FIRST LET ME SAY ITS NOT THE SELLERS FAULT. IT THE WAY HE SHIPS AN ITEM. MOST SELLERS SEND BY UPS OR USPS. AND HERE LIES PART OF THE PROBLEM SOMEONE WITH A BUSINESS ACCOUNT. CAN SHIP A LOT CHEAPER THAN THE INDIVIDUAL. AND YOU CAN TRY THIS FOR YOURSELF . TAKE AN ITEM YOU JUST SOLD TO A BUSINESS AND ASK THEM TO SHIP THE ITEM FOR YOU . IF THEY SHIP UPS THEY CAN CALL AND GET A SHIPPING PRICE RIGHT THERE. IF THEY SHIP A LOT THEN THEY WILL HAVE SCALES AND THE OTHER ITEMS NEEDED TO SHIP. YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE PRICE DIFFERANCE. PASS THIS TO THE CUSTOMER AND EVERYONE IS HAPPY. OR TRY EXPANDING YOUR SHIPPING OPTIONS TO INCLUDE DHL AND FEDEX WHICH I HAVE FOUND THE DHL WILL SHIP MUCH CHEAPER THAN ALL THE OTHERS EXAMPLE. I SHIPPED A PEDAL CAR TO NORTH CAROLINA TO SHIP FROM POINT A TO B BY UPS IT WAS 132.00 MORE THAN I HAD QUOTED ON MY SALE . AND THE CUSTOMER JUST SCREAMED. SO I CHECKED AROUND USPS WAS 115.00 BETTER BUT STILL MORE THAN I WANTED TO PAY AND MY CUSTOMER WOULDN'T STAND STILL FOR IT EITHER. SO I FOUND A DHL SHIPPER. HE SHOWED ME ALL THE RATES AND IT WAS RIGHT IN LINE WITH WHAT I HAD BEEN GETTING. THING WAS HE GAVE ME EVEN MORE CHOICES. FEDEX 97.00 AND DHL WAS 79.85  SAVING ME AND MY CUSTOMER MONEY AND I REFUNDER HIM 23.00  SO SHOP AROUNDAND SAVE ..
