Outrageous shipping. Rant

[Kernopelli]

Just tried ordering an Omni Gear Gearbox online from German Bliss. Shipping came up to $75.87 at checkout (shipping Wt. is only 12LBS)! I called and questioned the high SH price and they gave me a new shipping price of $20. Good gosh.....

I can say I have never had any eBay issues. So never had to return anything.

I wish I could say the same. Since anyone can sell thru them, there seem to be some kind of shady vendors. I bought a piece of electronic gear thru them once, didn't work when I installed it. Complained to the seller and his response was something to the effect "I never said it worked" and wouldn't refund my money. WTF???? :fiery: He never said it didn't either.
Ebay's alleged customer service was no help.

I hope you wrote a review on his site in a non politically correct way :thumbdown:
My son bought a cutting torch last Nov. for $90.00, lasted two weeks, he complained and got a full refund. I bought an aluminated switch for $9.00, and was suposed to be a 3-way, what I got was an single pole lighted switch, I complained, got half the money back, wich I thought was fair cause the switch does work. Now I always look for the (Top Rated Seller) logo and where the item locaation is

Good gosh is right. Wasn't the shipping price up front at the cart before filling in name rank and serial number and what is an Omni Gear GearBox?

I love amazon. That said, you still have to watch. Cans of lube/paint especially. $12 for a can of rustoleum, when it's $5 or less at wally. That said, wally doesn't ever have "lobster red" which matches my Kubota. Grrr.

On a power supply, amazon was like $26. Another place was $18, with $7 shipping. So, screw it, get it in 2 days for the extra buck. Not to mention the ease of one click ordering and the history of what I ordered.

Down my way, (up here) Wally world seems to now be a food store!

Auto dept is, like 10 batteries and 20 tires and assorted oils.
Forget tools, lots of toys, but all the junk food you never wanted.
And other than undergarments I don't believe I'd be seen in what they sell.
