Came across this listing. . . Would be great for a stash builder. . . About $25 too high on shipping, checked USPS.com rate.

I have contacted sellers before I place a bid and asked to have the shipping changed to my satisfaction. Prefer Priority Mail, and a "LOT" can fit in those boxes. The ones that do not adjust the shipping, I don't deal with.

Did you realize that at 65 lbs at 3 yds per pound you are getting 195 yds of fabric. So at $54.95 is not a bad price for the shipping.

If you read the description, you'll see they ship via FedEx for domestic shipments.
And that's a pretty close estimate to the actual cost.

The seller is one of those eBay drop off stores.

Sometimes I wonder why they chose the highest price shipping.

I have seen those stores add a significant handling fee to their "shipping charges" to recoup costs and help make a profit.

You just have to ensure the "total price" bid includes all shipping costs. It really only hurts the seller.

Which makes no sense, as the Seller's FinalValueFee is now based on the total invoice, including shipping.
That was a change eBay made because items were listed for $.99 with shipping of $40, and they were losing out on FVF's.

But if it is a drop off store, don't they get 100% of excess shipping compared to a percentage of the selling price?
