"So the bottom line is I'm being asked to pay $10 more for shipping then is necessary"
"Necessary" might be the key word here. With all due respect (no harm in you asking the question), no, that's not the bottom line. That's assuming they're shipping at exactly the rate that the post office charges Elecraft. What about the added costs of acquiring the packing materials, a person's time to process the order, pack the box, take it to the PO to deliver -- again, these are real costs -- and allowing the company to make a reasonable profit so they can stay in business, employ people, contribute to their health insurance premiums, etc.? "Markup" isn't necessarily a four letter word. 73, --Andrew, NV1B ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
