Another insane shipping auction

[godsey1]

This is the worst one that I have ever seen.... I put my zip code in the USPS Calculator and it came up with $27.38 shipping on a $.99 sell @_@ . If the owner of this auction is on this board, I'm sorry, be that is just crazy.

LOL What an ass! $30 to ship here. The auction is for SHIPPING PEANUTS. That's right virtually weightless styrofoam. He must be hoping someone thinks it wont cost anything to ship and they wont bother with the calculator.

I got a response from the seller.....

Hi,

Thank you very much for your interest in my auction.

I think shipping calculator is correct. I am charging a very small fee on top of actual shipping charge. What happens is that UPS charges more for what they consider "oversized" box. Because the peanuts are in a relatively large box for their small weight, the Shipping weight is more than its actual weight.

I am not trying to make money. I am trying to find a way to get rid of so much peanuts I accumulated and help someone at the same time.

If you live in Southern California the shipping charge is around $13 and cheap enough to consider buying it.

Only $21.81 for me.. what a great deal. I checked one of his other auctions and its only $15.68 to send me a desk jet printer.
