    Okay, I bought some fabric squares on ebay. Ask seller if she would combine shipping. She said yes, so much for the first and the rest would be another price. I thought she meant the second figure would be for all of the rest! I should have asked her to clarify, so I got $18.00 worth of fabric and I am paying $21.00 for shipping. Oh well...next time I will pay better attention!

    Sheesh - are they coming on the Queen Mary? That seems excessive, when it is costing $10 to ship from US to Australia! Is the post bag gold plated????

    Maybe they're coming from Canada. Postage in and out is expensive.

    NO, They are shipping from New York. I got a really good price on the blocks, from bidding. Maybe she is trying to make up for the shortfall with shipping. I just know I won't be doing it again. It all would have fit in a $10.95 flat rate envelope! But I will say again it was my fault for not getting clarification. I always just think how much more fabric I could have gotten for the shipping!

    Not fair, not fair ----Just like all of the informercials where they say.."but WAIT - get a second absolutely FREE.....just pay for additional shipping, and then you find out that your total shipping for something that ways as much as a cd is over $25!!

    I would live a comment in her feedback that shipping seemed excessive.

    Ohhhhhhhh I'd be furious. I've noticed the shipping has gone up on alot of items. Thats where they make their money beings they don't have to pay that part to Ebay. I'd email her back and let her know that is insane. Maybe she'll change it.
    :shock:
