Post by: daz bmx it! on May 24, 2009, 09:01 AM
Gezzer on Egay,charging £35 for Parcelforce 48hr delivery :shocked: which actually costs £15.99 ??? my mate emailed him about costs,so he says ok arrange your own courier but I'm gonna charge you £8 to put the bike in a box! :wtf:  so what do you think of that?

seems a bit harsh, but he has to get a box and tape.

tape £1

box free from halfords

so he's charing about £14 an hour for labour.

chancer in my opinion.

Take the postage cost into consideration when bidding and build it into your top bid.
Always been a tricky subject if postage costs are fair or not  :police: but if i dont like the look of postage costs i do as above or just dont bid  :D

Unless you live next door to halfrauds i doubt getting there is free.
As long as postage costs are clearly listed why should there be a problem, you dont have to bid
