I asked a seller if I only get charged for actuall rate without reading their policy. I was interested in two of the same items which weigh less than 5 ounces bombined. I also asked for priority shipping since the xharge is 8.95 or some random number, but it turns out that's for parcel post wihout DC. Keep in mind I haven't bought anythign from them. The response:
I sent this before I actually got their above message in return:as noted in the auction, if you use buy it now, you may purchase up to 3 items and we will charge you shipping and handling on only one.
Must use buy it now for combined shipping and handling fees.

Hmm I see your promotion, buy 3 items with buy it now and get a shipping discount. May I please be granted the shipping discount regardless of if it's buy it now and I -just plain win 3 items- good enough? I am looking at 3 or more different items but they end soon, no one's bidding I think I'd be better off just putting in the starting bid. Otherwise the extra money spent on buy it now would cancel out the money saved on shipping and there would really be no saving anyway. Seems like priority mail would work too going by their flat rate assuming it was small items and they fit in the box, but if it has to be parcel post (6 days instead of 3) do I at least get delivery confirmation with that? Depending on the reply I get will have a big impact on what I buy, thank you.
This is the latest email I sent, and awaiting response to:No, Sorry. You have to use buy it now to get the shipping and handling discount.
Thanks for asking (..really now is that sincere you incessant beguiler? And thank you for adressing only one of the things I asked)
SO in all seriousness correct me if I'm wrong, Shipping is going to be 27.00 when the package is going to arrive showing it only costed 4.95 assuming these are light items?
clock is ticking...
