discreet Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 [b]Er... how much for postage..?[/b] £25 postage seems a little excessive for a 1U rack tuner..? Am I wrong?

Lozz196 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Yeah, parcel2go would probably get that there next day for under a tenner. Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Its post and packing, maybe he has an epic packing plan. Quote
Dad3353 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Ebay fees aren't applied to the P&P part, only the sale price, I believe..? We've all seen stuff being sold for £1, P&P £250..! Quote

And you know how I'm a stickler for the rules... Quote

Mr. Foxen Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I think they have/are going to charge fees on post too. Paypal fees come off the post too, which must be considered. Quote
the boy Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 It does seem excessive but also justifiable. Any service for under a tenner will only be insured up to £50 with most couriers. If you wanted to insure this to its full value and for example get it delivered within a certain timeframe then you won't be long hitting the £25 mark. I'm sure if you told him you wanted to use your own courier there wouldn't be a problem. He's a musician man, everything is cooool. Quote
