Were you in the discussion on shipping costs a week or so ago? I Won't say any more about this.

$52.00 for shipping from Mass to Idaho.  Don't want either of those balls that bad.

FYI, I DO NOT set the shipping costs. If it costs that much to ship from MA to Idaho, then so be it, take it up with UPS. I put in that any buyer pays ACTUAL shipping. I do not have a fixed rate. I always try to ship using the cheapest method. I'm sorry if it costs that much to ship from MA to Idaho, but I do not set the shipping rates. If there is a cheaper method than ground shipment, please let me know and I'll look into it. I don't think FedEx or DHL are much cheaper.

Also, if I had a set shipping cost, I'd probaby be paying someone to take these off my hands. If my shipping cost was a set amount like $22-24 as most people, then I would probably end up paying out more than I would take in. That's why I set the initial bids so low and also allow the bidders to figure out their own shipping. If it costs too much to ship, don't bid.

rock:
there is something wrong with that listing, when i do a shipping calc via ups from your location to mine, it is only 11.47 to ship, but your auction shows 30.90 to ship, i would go check to make sure your shipping weight it right, i am sure the high shipping is severly tampering with bids on it.  just an fyi as i ship to the east coast all the time and nothing is ever more then 14 bucks for me, right at the ups termiinal, less if i do it online

I just checked and opened an account with FedEx. It seems as though their rates are MUCH cheaper than UPS. Massachusetts to California was only $15.71 for ground. I will note in my ebay listings that FedEx is available too.

Yeah, I figured it out. I had the wrong package size selected. I accidentally listed the item as a Large Package/Oversize. Once I read the specifications for package sizing I realized that. I am attempting to change that now.

Thanks for the heads up.

DHL is much cheaper because their service is that way.  I deal with them quite often at my job and the amount of damaged and "lost" packages that we get here are substantial.  You get what you pay for.  Just my $.02

sure no problem, high shipping makes a lot shy away, no need to miss out on some great looking equipment from a trusted seller
