Thread: Carriage costs?

  1. #1

    Default Carriage costs?

    So, i tried to order a 4.99 blade and 2 tips. Total cost 9.99

    Carriage........... FOURTY DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I understand a good postal arrangement for expensive stuff, but is there a cheaper option for less expensive bits at all?

    ps, posting to the uk.

    I think it comes down to size rather than value of the package. That is the down side to this hobby if you're not in the U.S.
    JQ Sabers sell pre made blades if that's any help.

    Just wait until your order arrives and those lovely people at Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs send you a bill for 20% of the total order value.
