I want to see what everyone thinks here. Recently I bought some parts from a fellow member. We settled on a price including shipping that we both agreed on. I get a pm back saying shipping was a little more $$, so I up'd the difference and came good on my end. In about a week or 2 time I get a pm from the other member that my parts cant be delivered, they were at a depot. He gave me their ph# and said to call them. I knew what I was in for right away. Dreading the phone call I made it anyway. It was to UPS, and they were stating they cant deliver to a mailbox, it had to be a physical address. I said well would there be broker fees on this?? You all know the answer right?? The lady on the phone said yes, $65. I said pls return to sender and that was that for them. I pm'd the seller and let him know that I requested them to be sent back to him, and that when he receives them that he ship them via USPS to me. I wont go into details as to what was said in the pm's I want to know what you guys think is fair. In my pm's to seller I requested specifically USPS and I think the majority of the members on the forums know why. There was no panic on my end for the parts, so if it took a week to get to the PO that would have been fine with me. I also find out that not only did they get shipped UPS, that it was called a "drop and ship" or something like that. So to me that means the extra $$ I paid went to a dick in a brown suit to pack and ship these parts. As it stands now the parts were $150, shipping initially was $25 then bumped another $17 that I paid by the way!!! Now they are held hostage at UPS for another $65 in broker fees. I no longer want these parts for that price. Am I being unreasonable here?? Whenever I sell something I always ship via Canada Post, but if someone was specific(as I was and always am) as to how they wanted them shipped I would accomodate them. I need your input guys and gals thanks!
