I ordered a quart of Unibond 800 glue from Nelson Paint. Price was $15.00. Came by Fed Ex. Shipping was $13.00 $1.00 fuel surcharge. >:( It wasn't local, but it didn't even cross a state line. Is shipping cost high or what?
-
And handling, don't forget handling!
-
I ship all I can usps, it's always cheaper
-
Probably considered hazardous goods. Post office wouldn't likely even accept it for shipping. The old urac 185 was dealt with in the same manner. Shipping is HIGH~~~
-
That is pretty high. I just got a box of clamps from the other end of New Zealand for USD 10 shipping. And it was pretty heavy.
-
Did you know before you made the purchase?
Every thing I order has something to read about shipping costs.
Hope you weren't blind sided.

Better be one special bow Darrell! Might of been cheaper to drive up there and grab it..:)

Shipping costs are pretty high. I shipped a recurve up to Oregon, had to put it in a wood box (too bendy for a 4" pvc with padding). It cost me $50.

I shipped a set of heavy osage billets to Oregon and it cost a lot more than I thought it would. I regret making that trade.
-
I'm with you on that one. Thinking no more osage trades, that stuff is heavy>
-
Are you guys shopping staves priority?
-
Well the ones I recently sent out were fairly fresh so part of the problem is the high cost of shipping water :laugh: Staves aren't generally that bad. Chemicals are the culprit. USPS won't ship them.
-
I ship staves usps priority or whatever is cheapest. Staves usually aren't to expensive as long as they are not to big. I don't mind trading staves as long as the other person owns up to what they said they would

That's where incurred cost catches up Clint. The shipping isn't bad if it goes both ways.
-
Don't feel bad Clint I've been burnt on here a few times.

Surprisingly the cheapest way I have shipped bows to oregon is priority mail express, actually has been cheaper than regular priority mail for some reason. My bows are long as heck though. Always around 40 - 50 dollars to oregon.

I donated a bunch of stuff to the TG St Jude auction last year, forgot to specify shipping to the CONUS only. For the two items I had to ship to Canada, the shipping cost as much or more than the item auctioned for, one book, $35 shipping.
I donated my late wife's Barbie doll collection this year and remembered to specify CONUS only.
I give away a lot of tillering gizmos, not just to anyone but carefully selected folk who I know will use them. For years it cost me $1.85 to ship one anywhere in the US First Class, yesterday it was $2.35, shipping costs have gone way up.
-
Yep sky high....just shipped a bow today far far away cost me $210.00
-
Hmm - I shipped some atlatls and darts to nevada only cost me a bit more then $20.....

Hey Clint, you'd think after you spent that kind of money to someone with a business they would at least go through with their part of the deal so word wouldn't get out about them being a dead beat.
