Folks,
I just added a new forum; Auctions. It is experimental, but if it works out, I will post a new
"bunch of stuff" auction in there every Friday and the auction will run until midnight Sunday night. Check it out
and if you have any questions, post them here.
At the moment, we have a bunch of returned merchandise on the
block. Last I looked, there was only one bid. Bidding ends this Sunday; highest bidder gets it postage paid within
the US.
Cheers and Happy Holidays,
Bruce

Can we get, 'Postage kinda
mostly paid' outwith the US, Bruce?
I need to keep saving the pennies. I'm desperate to experiment as much as
possible! :)

I think I'll keep the postage thing
sort of "at our discretion". EG: if the bidding goes rather high, I will probably have it sent Fed Ex within the
US. Outside the US, we might just pay the whole thing. I lieu of that though, you could always opt for "shipping
roulette"; meaning you agree to accept the loss if the product ends up in your postman's pocket and we ship it by
the cheapest possible postal option, no tracking, no insurance, nada... That generally works for most
folks.
Regards,

Bruce,
Any chance of a
points bought "free shipping" coupon? It would really help out us in the FedEx only parts of the world, because we
have to try to fit as much in one order as we can, or wait until there are a few things to order.
$27 (I think)
to ship to the UK :(

Capt,
We can ship to you in
the UK by post if don't mind taking the risk on the postal shipping. To tell the truth I think it was customers
who were hitting us with the ol' "I never got it scam", but it was so bad, we had to resort to a Fed Ex only
system. There may not really be that big of a risk.

How many people got hit by it?
It would be devastating to my finances if I lost a big order.

I think *we* are the only ones who
got "hit". They only "disappeared" up until we stopped guaranteeing safe delivery of postal shipments. Catch my
drift?
That said though, I would keep the orders very small with the postal shipping. Shipping is cheap and
you can usually slip thru customs and not get any tax. At the moment, you get us over the "free shipping over
$100." barrel if you live in the UK. We got to stop that soon though.

Good idea on the
option
Global mail shipping is still a joke - so many corrupt individuals esp in less developed mail
countries.
Only ever had one issue here in australia - it got "taken" but that wsa a customs guy who decided
he wanted some for himself.
Apart from that no dramas since then every order arrives on time.
