what does that sound like to you? if it's such a small box and does not weight that much then why would it cost $150? have you ever used the ebay shipping calculator? you put in your box size and weight and the buyer will see exactly how much it will cost them. please let me know that insurance company if you don't mind because i have never heard of that before | To be exact, the package is 8x8x3 inches and would weigh 3 lbs. YES it would cost $150 to ship it. Why does it cost $150? I have no idea! It's overpriced. It's a 3-5 day shipping so it's really fast, but aside from that, all other options come without tracking & signature. And eBay shipping calculator never helps..it's always off. I calculate my shipping by entering info into the PayPal/Canada Post shipping tool which is what I end up printing my labels with anyway so the prices are exact. Bottom line is, I'm not going to charge $150 for shipping overseas. Nobody will buy from me.
And IF something were to happen - I'd be filing a claim with the 3rd party AND the original courier because the original courier covers up to $100 (automatically included) while I'd cover the rest by 3rd party. If one claim got denied, I could try the other and at least get part of my money back. Again, I'm trying to protect MYSELF here, NOT scamming anyone at all. And I've used the same shipping option over 100 times before (literally..except they were just $50 items) and assuming the buyers were honest by saying they never received it - I only had 3 problems. Aside from that, it's been reliable for me.
