posting big items.........plz help

emmm, thats a hard one. I think that you could just put the £30/£40 delivery on and also leave a message saying that it is the cheapest delivery you could do but if a buyer can find it cheaper any where else then something could be arranged!

This is a tricky one and something which I have personally come across

I was selling some ski's and the courier price I was quoted was £30 for delivery - so I put that on the auction.

The trouble came when the person who won the item (for less than the courier charge I hasten to add!) started arguing about the courier costs - saying they could get it cheaper, etc, etc >:(

In the end I'd had a gutsful of it all and I let them organise their own courier as it was less hassle for me ...... and to this day I still await the courier collecting them , even though I'd been paid for the item (ex. delivery) ???

The morale of the story is, either (a) let them pick it up or (b) arrange their own courier - and make both of them perfectly clear on the item description!

Good luck ;D

there was a thread recently in the forum saying Staples have a postal service whereby they charge a flat rate of £7.99 no matter what the size the item is, do a search and maybe you could try that?
