Just curious what some of you have done in the past.
I won't name names just yet but here's my tale.
I bought $450 or so worth of posters from a small auction house in New York State recently which their original terms said would go to a UPS store for shipping, I know scary enough. They had never updated their terms to say it instead goes to a different small time private shipper instead. So far no real problem though. Yesterday I received a quote on shipping said posters, mind you it's only a few one sheets, for a whopping $110.76.
It is broken down as $58.36 in materials, $46.75 in shipping from NY State to NJ, carrier not noted, plus $5.65 insurance which tells me it's likely USPS.
Needless to say my jaw hit the floor and a flood of expletives rolled out of my mouth when I read that, some I think we're actually in Gaelic which makes no sense since I don't speak it. So, what would you do in my place?
