For the second time in as many weeks I've received parts that were shipped in USPS Flat Rate boxes but had Parcel Post or 1st Class postage on them. I know those Flat Rate boxes and envelopes are convenient (and free), but as soon as you use them the postage is locked in at the flat rate - period. So, when it arrives at its destination there is invariably postage due and the buyer ends up paying it. I ended up paying over $8 in postage due for the two items, over and above the negotiated price + shipping.
I'm not about to go back to the seller to recoup a relatively small amount and I'm still happy with the deals, but I just want to send a courtesy reminder to sellers that flat rate boxes mean just that - you pay the flat rate or somebody else pays the difference. Thanks for listening. Tom |
