Ok, so heres the background. You guys know me especially the guys Ive sold stuff to, I ship fast and give great deals usualy, I always err in the side of the buyer, make my crx'ers happy.
Fast Forward to yesterday...I have this WW replica fiberglass body kit, I found my reciept for it this morning, I paid $640 shipped for it. Real nice fitting glass kit. Ive been trying to sell it locall for months, and ifnally resolved to ship it, after pressure from alot of guys on here to sell.
I was reluctant to ship because of effort and cost. I worked out a deal for $200 plus actual shipping cost, so I could make a solid $200 on this thing. I went down to Staples, bought some bubble wrap and stuff, made a sweet double layer box out of some spare boxes I have. Oh snap, this thing doesnt fit in any of my cars! haha So Im asking around and my roomies mom is going to the UPS store (the buyers preferred shipper) to ship some stuff. I ask her to please bring this giant box and ship it out for me, which she does reluctantly. Knowing its going to cost some cash, I hand her my CC and ask her not to go shoe shopping with it.
So at lunch time, I swing by her house to pick up my card, reciept and tracking to forward on to the buyer.
get this, UPS wouldnt take my package because it was TOO BIG! so they split it into 2 smaller shimpents. And the cost...$375!!!!!!! what the hell, what am I supposed to do now. I just called them and its done, I cant cancel the shipment or anything
Heres the price breakdown, they charged me to repack the boxes ot to the tune of like $75 for boxes and packing material, and then it was like $150 a shipment for the actual shipping.
So what should I do now, asking for $575 just seems wrong considering I paid $640 shipped for it new. I really dont know what to do but I cant afford to eat this thing completely. I was figuring shipping would be less then $200...
I feel I should defintely eat this $75 'repacking' cost, because thats screwed up, but the $300 for shipping...what should I do?
