Seller on ebay trying to stick it to me on shipping

For smaller items that are not that heavy (like swingarms, pipes, etc) USPS is almost always cheapest. But once you get into the heavy and oversize stuff, ssuch as frames and motors, it is the wild west. Surcharges, extra expenses and all sorts of surprises can pop up. It used to be pretty simple up until a few years ago. The box that I referenced above "bulged" in shipping, and UPS hit me for double the cost because by their measurements, the size had increased about ~2". A load of sheet, me thinks. But the bottom line is, the cost of shipping has gone way, way up. What you think should cost $20 or something is no longer the case. Also, dont forget to factor in the cost of boxes and packing materials (tape, peanuts, etc). The cost of that crap is stupid high as well.

Sucks!

You guys are missing the facts of what im saying He didnt have to pay anything for shipping. Just a little cardboard and shrink wrap. I know all about the shipping prices and whats fair and what isnt. I ship about 30-50 packages a week, That range from 6x6 to most of the boxes being 24x24x26. He didnt want me to send him labels and arrange a pick up. He wanted to stick me with the 50 bucks a piece shipping.

I had a bad deal with athocycle on a 250r motor that wasn't as described.

Louis just shipped us a 250R frame 3 states away. It was 92$..It is what it is.

Still when I offer to send the guy two labels and arrange a pick up for them. There is no reason for him to bend me over on shipping

I would agree with that.
