Hello, Tom and List,<br>
<br>
I think I have to put a line in to this subject as well.<br>
<br>
Since Sep. 11th postal security here <big><b>down-under</b></big> has dramatically
increased, and every item, not to be a document/ card/letter <b>has to be
sent as a small parcel with ID procided</b> etc.<br>
The <b><big>cheapest</big> air-mai</b>l parcel is AUD $ 7.00 to the U.S.A.
and AUD $ 8.00 to the rest of the world. And in quite some cases the postage
charged does not even cover the postage paid, believe me!<span

<b>We are asking for USD $ 5.00 P/H</b> for the first item and <b>USD $ 1.00
for every additional</b> one.You see, we are not trying to make money on
postage charges. Handling of the item and packing material are not even taken
into consideration.<br>
<br>
We are certainly trying to be fair, but it is really up to the individual
to do the calculation and to decide if he/she wants to place a bid.<br>
<br>
I hope you will still be bidding at our auctions. <span

  <pre wrap="">Hello List,  Are we missing something?  Mike farmer must be the worst, with
his one dollar shipping!!!!  Others charge two, three, four, some even five
and six dollars.
   I was looking for a computer mouse for my daughter and almost fell of my
chair seeing the shipping costs on these auctions!  Six dollars was low for
a computer mouse, nine, ten, twelve were normal and fifteen on the high
side.
  One guy had eighteen ($18) shipping and a note saying if you don't like
the shipping amount don't bid and don't ask me for to come down on the
charge! All of these S&amp;H charges were for a single mouse.
  I am not talking about a few of the auctions, I am talking just about
every one of them!  Are we undercharging on our shipping or are they all
trying to rip people off?
Thanks, Tom
