Hello Fellow Members,
I can't speak for the online stores, but I know they face the same problems that the little guy on Ebay have.
Everyone wants the best price, and even lower shipping ! When I sold on Ebay, I had to purchase boxes, packing foam peanuts, tape, and labels. Then I had to drive to the Post Office, and everyone wants their items shipped the day before the auction has ended !
Claimed lost items, (not received)became a problem, as there is no way to prove that they were delivered without a Tracking number. Buyers Remorse and items being changed and returned for items that the buyer had thatwere broken became a problem. Their are more unscrupulous buyers than sellers out there.
What I am saying is, that the costs incurred by sellers, both Ebay and Internet dealers is high, and no one wants to pay, but they are still there. You can pay fair shipping charges or higher prices for your items, not both .
Just my opinion, or nickle !
Bill
