Post by: doctorq on February 10, 2008, 07:00:08 PM: Well, it's not my fault that a dollar isn't worth as much as it used to be ;-)

But yes, shipping costs are 80 USD. Keep in mind that shipping materials, handling fees, etc. are included, so you know before you buy, what you will end up paying.

-EDIT-

By the way; there isn't any alternatives to the national postal service here in Denmark; since they are the only ones around, they set the price :-(

BTW - shipping is a real deal killer in many countries, as is import taxes. I have seen taxes as high as 125% !? unbelievable!

Post by: alenppc on February 10, 2008, 11:39:16 PM: IMHO £140 ($280) is way too much for that card... I sold my PPC cards for less than that...

And the shipping, come on, what are you using, gold-plated boxes and UPS 24-hour delivery service?!

Besides, you should not be selling the card without its HSF combo. Why did you remove it?

Don't you all have UPS or DHL or some private shippers?

It's a free world. If you dislike the price, fine with me. What you have sold your PPC card for is none of my business.

And yes, the shipping costs are as stated; either that, or I lower the shipping costs, and charge for handling fees, PayPal fees, currency convertion fees, etc, afterwards. That will end up being higher than the price stated, so what would you rather like to pay?

And unlike what you state, nothing has been removed from the card.

@motrucker

UPS and DHL all means higher costs. Nearest DHL or UPS office is 50 kms away.
