Watch restocking fees, also. Newegg has always had a 15% restocking
fee, so I changed to Tiger Direct ....at least until TD instituted
that same 15% fee.


I guess that is what they call "price matching". The competition does
it so why not? Stops abuse of people ordering three items and then
picking the one they really want and send the other two back



I bought a panetonne from SFBA. They charged me $20 to ship a 2lb
package from SF to CO, yet a guy who sold me a 40lb golf cart charger
charged me zero shipping, on ebay.

Amazon wants $46 for a skillet. I can get that same skillet for $30,
elsewhere. Problem is, "elsewhere" want $18 to ship it.

Ya pays yer money and takes yer chances!......

Everybody likes free shipping and free lunch.

I don't mind paying a fair price for sipping, but when you need a $5
part and the shipping and handling is $15 it makes you wonder but there
s real cost to handling an order. My company has a $300 minimum order
but we don't deal with the general public.
